17 highly cited researchers at ETH Zurich
World’s most highly cited scientists list includes 17 from ETH Zurich. Many of whom conduct cross-disciplinary research.
The annual ranking lists 6,600 researchers from more than 70 countries worldwide who have strongly influenced their own or several research fields through their publication activities. The list includes the most cited publications between January 2010 and December 2020. Data scientists at Clarivate's Institute for Scientific Information compiled the information.
USA still the most influential science nation
The most highly cited researchers work in the USA (2,622), followed by China with 935 scientists. Switzerland ranks 10th with 102 highly cited researchers. This number has decreased slightly by 0.7 percent since 2018, which is attributed to a change in the recording method. Publications that listed more than 30 addresses of institutions have been excluded from the analysis for several years. This year, the data analysts compiling the ranking also excluded publications in which more than 30 authors or group authorships were listed.
Harvard University is the university that unites the most highly cited scientists under one roof, namely 214 researchers. For ETH Zurich, 18 highly cited researchers are listed, although one of them departed ETH Zurich two years ago and is now conducting research at the University of Leipzig.
