Clarivate Unveils Citation Laureates 2023 - Annual List of Researchers of Nobel Class
- These researchers have already exerted a profound impact on their fields.
- None.
71 Citation Laureates named by the Institute for Scientific Information have gone on to receive a Nobel Prize
This year's Citation Laureates have made significant contributions across a diverse range of fields, including cancer treatment, human microbiomes, synthetic gene circuits, spintronics, designer molecular structures, sleep/wake cycles, wealth inequality and urban economics. Sixteen of the honorees are based at leading academic institutions in the
Emmanuel Thiveaud, Senior Vice President for Research & Analytics, Academia & Government at Clarivate said: "Clarivate uses quantitative citation data from the Web of Science™, together with unparalleled qualitative analysis to successfully identify individuals who go on to be recognized by the Nobel Assembly.
"The achievements of the Citation Laureates 2023 are not just notable, but emblematic of the kind that Clarivate identifies as Nobel-worthy. These research giants publish papers that garner more than 2,000 citations — a truly rare accolade — that should be celebrated. This list recognizes many decades of work, laying ground for countless discoveries and innovations that have transformed our world."
Since 2002, analysts at the Institute for Scientific Information have drawn on publication and citation data from its index of trusted journals to identify potential Nobel Prize winners in the areas of Physiology or Medicine, Physics, Chemistry and Economics. Out of more than 58 million articles and proceedings indexed in the Web of Science since 1970, only about 8,700 (.
Since 2002, experts at the ISI have identified 71 Citation Laureates prior to their Nobel Prize success – often years before they were recognized in
