Highly Cited Researchers methodology
The methodology that determines the ‘who’s who’ of influential researchers draws on the data and analysis performed by bibliometric experts and data scientists at the Institute for Scientific Information™ at Clarivate. It also uses the tallies to identify the countries and research institutions where these scientific elite are based.
David Pendlebury, Senior Citation Analyst at the Institute for Scientific Information at Clarivate says: “In the race for knowledge, it is human capital that is fundamental and this list identifies and celebrates exceptional individual researchers at Swinburne University of Technology who are having a great impact on the research community as measured by the rate at which their work is being cited by others.”
