Clarivate Names World's Influential Researchers with Highly Cited Researchers 2022 List
LONDON, Nov. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Clarivate Plc (NYSE: CLVT), a global leader in providing trusted information and insights to accelerate the pace of innovation, today revealed its 2022 list of Highly Cited Researchers™ – individuals at universities, research institutes and commercial organizations who have demonstrated a disproportionate level of significant and broad influence in their field or fields of research. The methodology draws on data from the Web of Science™ citation index, together with analysis performed by bibliometric experts and data scientists at the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI)™ at Clarivate.
- This year Clarivate extended the qualitative analysis of the Highly Cited Researchers list, to address increasing concerns over potential misconduct (such as plagiarism, image manipulation, fake peer review).
- With the assistance of Retraction Watch and its unparalleled database of retractions, Clarivate analysts searched for evidence of misconduct in all publications of those on the preliminary list of Highly Cited Researchers.
- Researchers found to have committed scientific misconduct in formal proceedings conducted by a researcher's institution, a government agency, a funder or a publisher are excluded from the list of Highly Cited Researchers.
- This is why we've expanded our qualitative analysis this year to ensure the Highly Cited Researchers list reflects genuine, community-wide research influence.
