University researchers ranked in global top 1% most influential academics
22 Nov 2024
More than a dozen colleagues feature in list demonstrating remarkable and far-reaching influence in their field, through rankings built on rigorous citation analysis.
Fourteen researchers across fifteen subject areas at our University have been recognised among the world’s most influential academics, according to new rankings released by Clarivate.
Each individual on this prestigious list has achieved remarkable and far-reaching influence in their field of research across each of the University’s three faculties.
The key data in the ranking is the number of ‘Highly Cited’ papers they have each authored. These papers proudly rank in the top 1% by citations for their field and publication year in the Web of Science over the past decade. The rankings, built on rigorous citation analysis and refined by expert judgment from the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), are a testament to their outstanding contributions.
Our University continues to lead on the global stage – during its Bicentenary year we have celebrated excellence in research, education, and engagement, transforming lives, communities, and innovation worldwide.
Our Highly Cited Researchers are at the forefront of tackling global challenges in environmental research, physics, engineering, social sciences, immunology and clinical medicine. From the Manchester researchers featured in the top 1% ranking, six are categorised as ‘cross-field’ demonstrating the importance of their work on multiple fields.
David Pendlebury, Head of Research Analysis at the Institute for Scientific Information at Clarivate, said: “The Highly Cited Researchers list identifies and celebrates exceptional individual researchers at The University of Manchester, whose significant and broad influence in their fields translates to impact in their research community.
“Their pioneering innovations contribute to a healthier, more sustainable and secure world. These researchers’ achievements strengthen the foundation of excellence and innovation that drives societal progress.”
