The new list of 2018 contains about 4,000 highly cited researchers in science and social science fields, who are determined by their peers around the globe and also recognized for high citation counts over a decade.
This year a new cross-field category has been added to recognize researchers with substantial influence in several fields but who do not have enough highly cited papers in any one field to be chosen. David Pendlebury, Senior Citation Analyst at Clarivate Analytics explained: “For example, an immunologist today is likely both a biochemist and molecular biologist, and a chemist is also a materials scientist and even an engineer. Breaking through the artificial walls of conventional disciplinary categories by the introduction of the new cross-field category aims to keep the Highly Cited Researcher list contemporary and relevant."
