Citation ranking: Seven Goethe University Frankfurt researchers among the top of the world

Seven of the almost 7,000 most cited scientists in the world conduct their research at Goethe University Frankfurt, according to the latest citation ranking of Clarivate Analytics’ “Web of Science”.

More often than not, particularly fundamental scientific findings result in a contribution being cited frequently by other scientists. That is why citation frequency is an indicator not only of the published articles’ scientific significance, but also of the scientific authors’ visibility in the scientific community.

Once a year, information and technology group Clarivate Analytics evaluates its “Web of Science” citation database, and, on the basis of this information, publishes the “Highly Cited Researchers” ranking. The current ranking includes 6,849 scientists, in no particular order, who are part of the one percent whose scientific articles in the natural and engineering sciences, medicine, economics and business as well as social sciences were cited most frequently between 2021 and 2022, either within their own or in different fields (“cross-field”).

The “highly cited” Goethe University researchers of 2023 are:
