"Recognition and support of these exceptional researchers represents an important activity for a nation or an institution's plans for efficient and accelerated advancement," said David Pendlebury, senior citation analyst at the Institute for Scientific Information. "The Highly Cited Researchers list contributes to the identification of that small fraction of the researcher population that significantly extends the frontiers of knowledge. These researchers create gains for society, innovation and knowledge that make the world healthier, richer, more sustainable and more secure."
