The 2021 global “Highly Cited Scientists” list has selected more than 6,600 scientists from 21 fields in natural and social sciences and cross-disciplines based on their number of highly cited papers published over an 11-year period from January 2010 to December 2020. The list was formed after bibliometric analysis by experts at the Clarivate Institute for Scientific Information (ISI). They used InCites? and ESI? to analyze data, and tailored criteria for selecting the scientists with reference to certain performance indicators and trend data based on the number of their academic publications and citation data on Web of Science?. All the natural and social scientists on the list have published multiple highly cited papers and are in the top 1% in their own fields in terms of citation frequency, which is a demonstration of their strong academic influence.
