Prof. Wolfgang Parak from the Institute for Nanostructure and Solid State Physics at Universität Hamburg and researcher in the Cluster of Excellence "CUI: Advanced Imaging of Matter" is once again among the most cited minds in his field. Parak conducts research in the field of biophotonics and is listed on the "Highly Cited Researchers" list in the cross-field category.
Once a year, the "Web of Science Group" of the U.S. company Clarivate Analytics analyzes the importance of researchers based on their citation rates. The evaluation is based on the "Web of Science Core Collection" database, which lists scientific articles from around 21,000 journals. Scientists whose work is cited particularly frequently by their peers are considered to be especially important and influential in their field.
For this year's list of “Highly Cited Researchers”, the period 2010 to 2020 was analyzed. The ranking lists researchers who were involved in the top one-percent of most-cited publications in their field during that period. In 2021, 6,602 of the world's researchers from 21 research fields were on the list, including 2,828 in cross-field. There were also 24 Nobel laureates on the list.
