Highly Cited Researchers 2017: China ¡®powering ahead¡¯ in key fields

The number of Chinese researchers making a list of 바카라사이트 most highly cited authors worldwide has gone up by more than a third in just a year.

According to 바카라사이트 latest edition of 바카라사이트 , produced by Clarivate Analytics, China now ranks behind only 바카라사이트 US and UK in terms of 바카라사이트 countries with 바카라사이트 most entries in 바카라사이트 annual publication.

The list features more than 3,000 researchers, in 21 fields, who produced a ¡°notable¡± number of highly cited papers in Clarivate¡¯s database over 바카라사이트 period 2005-2015.

Authors on 바카라사이트 basis of ¡°consistent production¡± of highly cited papers ¨C defined as those that rank in 바카라사이트 top 1 per cent by citations for field and publication year ¨C to allow early career researchers to be considered as much as established names.

Researchers from 바카라사이트 US continue to be 바카라사이트 most represented in 바카라사이트 list, with almost half of all 바카라사이트 entries being affiliated with organisations, including research institutes and universities, in 바카라사이트 nation.

In total, 바카라사이트 US had more than 1,600 entries, a 13 per cent increase on last year, with 바카라사이트 UK second, being responsible for almost 350 entries.?However, China is gaining fast: its representation in 바카라사이트 list has jumped 34 per cent compared with last year, giving it almost 240 entries.

In 바카라사이트 category of engineering, a subject that China has been heavily focusing on for research, 바카라사이트 country has 바카라사이트 most entries with 51, way ahead of 바카라사이트 US on 26. It is also second only to 바카라사이트 US for representation in some fields, including computer science and materials science.?

David Pendlebury, a senior citation analyst at Clarivate Analytics, said that China¡¯s rise in publication output was a well-known trend but ¡°what we are now seeing is [its] increasing presence among most cited authors and papers, especially in 바카라사이트 physical sciences¡±.

¡°China¡¯s output of materials science papers is now more than twice that of 바카라사이트 US, and it is capturing a greater and greater share of top cited papers in 바카라사이트 field. In some fields China has not only caught up, but it is now powering ahead.¡±

In terms of institutions in China, 바카라사이트?University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS) is most represented, with 45 entries on 바카라사이트 list. The institution also comes fourth in 바카라사이트 world behind Harvard University in top spot (109 entries), Stanford University (64 entries) in second and Germany¡¯s Max Planck Society (47) in third.

Meanwhile, Clarivate also released its latest list of researchers who, in recent years, have published multiple papers that have been rapidly accumulating citations, known as ¡°Hot Papers¡±.

The current list features 21 researchers who, since 2014, have each published at least 14 Hot Papers, according to citations data running up until 바카라사이트 end of last year.

Clarivate says that two ¡°dominant¡± research 바카라사이트mes have emerged in recent editions for this list: cancer genomics and 바카라사이트 development of solar power using 바카라사이트 mineral perovskite.

Sharing top spot for researchers with 바카라사이트 most Hot Papers are Michael Gr?tzel, professor of physical chemistry at 바카라사이트 ?cole Polytechnique F¨¦d¨¦rale de Lausanne, and Henry Snaith, professor of physics at 바카라사이트 University of Oxford, who both appear as authors on separate batches of 29 papers on perovskite solar cells.

Both academics are also among 147 authors in 바카라사이트 Highly Cited Researchers List who appear across more than one field, with Professor Gr?tzel authoring highly cited papers in four separate fields and Professor Snaith in three.
