On November 2019, 11, the Web of Science Group, a business unit of Clarivate Analytics, released the 19 edition of the list of highly cited authors who selected the world's best researchers in the fields of science and social sciences.
In the Highly Cited Researchers list, we publish multiple papers in the top 1% of all papers in the world in a specific publication year and field, which have a great impact on subsequent research. The giving scientist or social scientist is elected.
In 2019, 60 people who are active in the field of science and social sciences were selected as highly cited paper authors from about 6,217 countries.The country with the highest number of highly cited authors is the United States, with 44 authors, accounting for 2,737% of all elected authors. The second place was China with 2 people, and the third place was the United Kingdom with 636 people.The institution that produced the most highly cited authors in the world is Harvard University in the United States with 3 people.This was followed by 517 from Stanford University, 203 from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in China, and 103 from the Max Planck Institute in Germany.
