A number of these researchers are from the College of Science, Engineering and Food Science. The list is published by Clarivate and recognises pioneers in their field whose citation records position them in the very highest strata of research influence and impact.

UCC has the highest number for any Irish university on the global list, which features a total of 6,600 researchers from more than 60 countries, with US-based institutions continuing to dominate.

Clarivate Plc, a global leader in providing trusted information and insights to accelerate the pace of innovation, unveiled its 2021 list of Highly Cited Researchers鈩� recently. The methodology that determines the 鈥渨ho鈥檚 who鈥� of influential researchers draws on the data and analysis performed by bibliometric experts and data scientists at the Institute for Scientific Information鈩� at Clarivate.

The Highly Cited Researchers鈥� names are drawn from publications that rank in the top 1% by citations for field and publication year in the Web of Science鈩� citation index, and the list identifies the research institutions and countries where they are based.
