Three UNIST researchers have distinguished themselves with inclusion in the 2017 list of Highly Cited Researchers, a yearly distinction released by Clarivate Analytics that was formerly part of Thomson Reuters.
The latest Highly Cited Researcher listing by Clarivate Analytics recognizes leading researchers in 21 fields of the sciences and social sciences from around the world. The methodology included Essential Science Indicators to limit the disadvantage of recently-published papers relative to older ones, and to include early and mid-career scientists who may have fewer papers published.
The yearly list is based on the number of citations for papers published over an 11-year period from January 2005 to December 2015. Highly Cited Papers are defined as those that ranked among the top 1% most cited for their subject field and year of publication, earning them the mark of exceptional impact.
In 2017 edition, about thirty scientists from South Koreareceived this distinction in the ‘Highly Cited Researchers 2017’ report, which includes Professor Rodney S. Ruoff in the School of of Natural Science, Professor Jaephil Cho, and Professor Jin Young Kim in the School of Energy and Chemical Engineering. They have been listed among 3,300 researchers with global influence and impact. This is the second time both Professor Ruoff and Professor Cho have been named to the list.
