Unai Pascual named to 2021 ‘highly cited researchers’ list


Unai Pascual, Ikerbasque Research Professor at BC3 (Basque Centre for Climate Change), has been named to the prestigious Clarivate Analytics list of “Highly Cited Researchers” for 2021. The 2021 list of Highly Cited Researchers, in a new Cross-Field category to identify researchers with substantial influence across several fields during 2010-2020 with production of multiple highly cited papers that rank in the top 1% in Web of Science, includes researchers ranking in the top 1 percent by citations for field and publication year.

According to the Clarivate Analytics website, the “Highly Cited Researchers” list “identifies the most frequently cited researchers as determined by the extent to which their papers have supported, influenced, inspired and challenged other researchers around the globe. It identifies authors who have consistently won peer approval from international researchers in the form of high citation counts.”

The statistics is based on “only highly cited papers in science and social sciences journals indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection during the 11-year period 2010-2020 were surveyed. Highly cited papers are defined as those that rank in the top 1% by citations for field and publication year” y “Researchers who, within an  ESI defined field, publish highly cited papers are judged to be influential, so the production of multiple top 1% papers is interpreted as a mark of exceptional impact.”
