New York University: More Than 20 NYU Faculty Named to List of Highly Cited Researchers

Twenty-four New York University professors are among the world’s most-cited researchers and have been named to Clarivate Analytics’ 2021 Highly Cited Researchers list.

The annual list identifies researchers who have demonstrated significant influence in their fields—which at NYU, range from biology to engineering and economics to public health. The scientists and social scientists chosen from around the world have published papers that rank in the top 1 percent by citations in their fields over the past decade (2010-2020) in Clarivate’s Web of Science citation index.

The method 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.
