71 Citation Laureates named by the Institute for Scientific
Information have gone on to receive a Nobel Prize
LONDON, Sept. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Clarivate
Plc (NYSE:CLVT), a global leader in connecting people and
organizations to intelligence they can trust to transform their
world, today named 23 world-class researchers from institutions in
five countries as Citation Laureates™. These are researchers whose
work is deemed to be of Nobel class, as demonstrated by analysis
carried out by the Institute for Scientific Information
(ISI)™ at Clarivate™.
This year's Citation Laureates have made significant
contributions across a diverse range of fields, including cancer
treatment, human microbiomes, synthetic gene circuits, spintronics,
designer molecular structures, sleep/wake cycles, wealth inequality
and urban economics. Sixteen of the honorees are based at leading
academic institutions in the United
States, two each are based in Japan, the United Kingdom and France, and one is based in Germany. These individuals represent an elite
group whose research publications are highly cited and who have
already exerted a profound and often transformative impact on their
fields of research.
Emmanuel Thiveaud, Senior Vice President for Research &
Analytics, Academia & Government at Clarivate said: "Clarivate
uses quantitative citation data from the Web of Science™, together
with unparalleled qualitative analysis to successfully identify
individuals who go on to be recognized by the Nobel Assembly.
"The achievements of the Citation Laureates 2023 are not just
notable, but emblematic of the kind that Clarivate identifies as
Nobel-worthy. These research giants publish papers that garner more
than 2,000 citations — a truly rare accolade — that should be
celebrated. This list recognizes many decades of work, laying
ground for countless discoveries and innovations that have
transformed our world."
Since 2002, analysts at the Institute for Scientific Information
have drawn on publication and citation data from its index of
trusted journals to identify potential Nobel Prize winners in the
areas of Physiology or Medicine, Physics, Chemistry and Economics.
Out of more than 58 million articles and proceedings indexed in
the Web of Science since 1970, only about 8,700 (.01%)
have been cited 2,000 or more times. It is from the authors of this
group of papers that Citation Laureates are identified and
selected.
Since 2002, experts at the ISI have identified 71 Citation
Laureates prior to their Nobel Prize success – often years before
they were recognized in Stockholm.
