The 91探花 is proud to announce that 56 faculty and researchers who completed their work while at 91探花have been named on the list from Clarivate.

The annual list identifies researchers who demonstrated significant influence in their chosen field or fields through the publication of multiple highly cited papers during the last decade. Their names are drawn from the publications that rank in the top 1% by citations for field and publication year in the .

Highly Cited Researchers demonstrate significant and broad influence in their fields of research. The total list includes 7,131 awards from more than 1,300 institutions in 60 countries and regions. This small fraction of the global researcher population contributes disproportionately to extending the frontiers of knowledge and contributing to innovations that make the world healthier, more sustainable and which drive societal impact, according to Clarivate.

The that determines the 鈥渨ho鈥檚 who鈥 of influential researchers is drawn from data and analysis performed by bibliometric experts and data scientists at the Institute for Scientific Information at Clarivate.

The list below includes faculty and researchers whose primary affiliation is with the UW, Fred Hutch Cancer Center, and the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.

Please note: Some of the people on the list are no longer with the 91探花and their current affiliation is noted. This list reflects initial data from Clarivate and may be updated.

Twenty-seven 91探花faculty listed among ‘world’s most influential scientific minds’ by Thomson Reuters /news/2016/01/15/twenty-six-uw-faculty-listed-among-worlds-most-influential-scientific-minds-by-thomson-reuters/ Sat, 16 Jan 2016 01:12:29 +0000 /news/?p=45487 The 91探花 is home to 27 researchers included on Thomson Reuters鈥 list of 鈥, which was released Jan. 14. The distinction, based on an analysis of over a decade of research paper citations among 21 general scientific fields, is meant to recognize scientists who are most cited by their peers.

“The awe-inspiring research being done every day at the 91探花 aims to create change and make the world a better place,” 91探花President said. “This recognition of so many of our faculty members as being among the world’s most influential minds is not surprising, but does serve as a reminder of the global impact of their innovative research and scholarship.”

The report also includes three 91探花scientists from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) and the Department of Global Health 鈥 , and 鈥 among 2015’s “hottest researchers,” scientists who had each produced over a dozen highly cited papers since 2012. Only the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard had more researchers on this list.

“This recognition is an honor. It is also a testament to our dedicated team here at IHME and to our collaborators around the world involved in the global burden of disease,” said IHME director Murray, who also co-founded the Global Burden of Disease approach to public health to evaluate and quantify health losses due to disease, injury and risk factors. “Their hard work is advancing our mission to improve health through better evidence.”

Thompson Reuters chose to focus on these authors of “hot papers” because, the report noted, “authors who are prolific in ‘hot papers’ are clearly producing work that is influential and useful,” as judged by their peers. Most of the 19 scientists with this high distinction work in emerging fields such as cancer genomics, renewable energy and materials science.

“Hopefully, this is just the beginning of a new advancement in health. As our work continues to influence health policy and strategy across the world, we hope to continue to see improvements,” said Vos, who has worked to improve Global Burden of Disease methodology, modeling, data acquisition and analysis. “With this recognition of IHME鈥檚 scientific work and the impact of our global expertise on this matter, it is highly encouraging聽to see health metrics rise in prominence as a field.”

Murray had 22 highly cited papers between 2012 and 2014, while Vos had 16 and Naghavi had 15.

“Each year, millions of lives are cut short by preventable disease and unnecessary burden, and we aim to lower those numbers through better health evidence. This ranking reflects the impact of the Global Burden of Disease network, which has grown to more than 1,500 researchers in 120 countries,” said Naghavi, who heads the IHME’s efforts to analyze cause of death, cancer and tropical diseases globally. “We look forward to the network’s continued expansion, specialization and achievement.”

In addition to this top list of “hottest researchers,” the report includes over 3,000 scientists from institutions around the world who published papers between 2003 and 2013 that were highly cited by their peers in fields, ranging from physical and social sciences to medicine and economics. The analysis, produced by the wing of Thomson Reuters, made use of data sets tracking research paper citations, such as .
