For another year, the US had the largest percentage of researchers with an international impact in 2022, but it now feels China closing in, as Clarivate’s “Highly Cited Researchers 2022” list shows.
The list includes a total of 6,938 researchers from 69 countries, ranked by the number of citations their work has, i.e. how many times other scientists refer to a researcher’s publications. The directory draws data from the Web of Science database, analyzed by experts at Clarivate’s Institute for Scientific Information.
The US has 2,764 researchers listed, or 38.3% of the total, 5% less than in 2018 (43.3%), so it is gradually losing ground internationally. Second place China had in 2022 1,169 researchers with a large international impact, raising its global share to 16.2% compared to 7.9% in 2018 (an increase of 8.3%). It is followed by Britain with 579 researchers (8%), Germany with 369 (5.1%), Australia with 337 (4.7%), Canada with 226 (3.1%), the Netherlands with 210 (2 .9%), France with 134 (1.9%) and Switzerland with 112 (1.6%).
As far as the individual institutions (universities, research institutes, etc.) are concerned, the number of researchers with an international impact is ahead of the American Harvard University (233) and followed by Chinese Academy of Sciences (228), the American University Stanford (126), the US National Institutes of Health (113), the Chinese Tsinghua University (73), the American University MIT (71) and the German scientific organization Max Planck (67).
From the Greek side, in the list included in order are George Daikos (EKPA), Theodoros Dalamagas (Athena Research Center), Meletios-Athanassios Dimopoulos (Rector of EKPA), Gerasimos Philippatos (EKPA), George Georgakilas (University of Thessaly), George Karagiannidis (AUTH), Nikos Karamanos (University of Patras), Georgios Kyzas (International University of Greece), Konstantinos Stoumpos (University of Crete), Thanasis Vergoulis (NTUA) and Yiannis Vontas (Agricultural University of Athens).
