Ten University of Helsinki researchers rank in top 1% for citations in their respective fields

The Highly Cited Researchers 2024 list highlights scholars whose publications have received the most citations from other researchers over the past decade.

Ten University of Helsinki researchers have been named on the annual Highly Cited Researchers list.

The list identifies researchers from across the world who demonstrated significant influence in their field through the publication of multiple highly cited papers. The evaluation and selection process draws on data from the Web of Science, together with qualitative analysis.

Web of Science indexing and search service covers peer-reviewed published research articles especially in the natural sciences and medicine. Due to this, scholars of the humanities and education, among others, are not included on the list.

Seven of the named researchers have their primary affiliation at the University of Helsinki, while three work primarily elsewhere.
