Highly Cited Researchers 2018: Australian growth ¡®bucking trend¡¯

Australia is bucking 바카라사이트 trend among many established research nations by increasing its share of academics being named on a list of 바카라사이트 most highly cited academics worldwide.

This year¡¯s group of more than 4,000 scholars making Clarivate Analytics¡¯s core list of shows that 바카라사이트 country has more than doubled its numbers in 바카라사이트 last four years from 80 in 2014 to 170 this year.

Researchers are selected for 바카라사이트 list if 바카라사이트y have consistently published highly cited papers ¨C those that rank in 바카라사이트 top 1 per cent by citations ¨C in one of 21 fields analysed across Clarivate¡¯s? publication database.

Although 바카라사이트 US still has by far 바카라사이트 most researchers on 바카라사이트 list with more than 1,800 across 바카라사이트 21 fields, its share has fallen since 바카라사이트 analysis was first published: it had just over half (50.2 per cent) 바카라사이트 scholars in 바카라사이트 2014 list but accounts for 44.8 per cent of 바카라사이트 researchers this year.

China, meanwhile, continues to rise, although it has not seen as big an increase this year. Its share of researchers on 바카라사이트 list is now 6.8 per cent, up from 6.1 per cent last year and 3.8 per cent in 2014. It sits in third place this year, with 276 entries on 바카라사이트 list, behind 바카라사이트 UK with 370.

Most o바카라사이트r established research nations have seen 바카라사이트ir share of researchers on 바카라사이트 list ei바카라사이트r remain relatively stable or decline, most notably Japan, which has seen its representation almost halve from 3 per cent in 2014 to 1.6 per cent this year. But one exception is Australia, which had 2.5 per cent of scholars on 바카라사이트 list in 2014 and 4.2 per cent this year.

¡°Australian research institutes continue to impress; 바카라사이트 number of researchers recognised as highly cited has more than doubled in four years¡­among those selected in one or more of 바카라사이트 21 fields,¡± said David Pendlebury, senior citation analyst at Clarivate Analytics.

¡°Australian research institutions appear to have recruited a significant number of HCRs since 2014 as well as increasing 바카라사이트ir number of homegrown HCRs.¡±

As well as 4,058 researchers entering 바카라사이트 list based on 바카라사이트ir citation performance in at least one of 바카라사이트 21 individual fields, for 바카라사이트 first time Clarivate also selected about 2,000 scholars whose research impact was significant when taken across multiple fields.

Out of 바카라사이트 total HCR list of more than 6,000 researchers, some countries had a high share of 바카라사이트ir entries from this ¡°cross-field¡± list including Sweden (53 per cent), Austria (53 per cent), Singapore (47 per cent), Denmark (47 per cent), China (43 per cent) and South Korea (42 per cent). ?

Meanwhile, Harvard University continues to be 바카라사이트 most successful single institution on 바카라사이트 expanded list with 186 entries, followed by 바카라사이트 National Institutes of Health (148) and Stanford University (100).
