Ten scientists from the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory are among the world’s most highly cited researchers, according to a bibliometric analysis conducted by the scientific publication analytics firm Clarivate.
The annual list identifies researchers who demonstrated significant influence in their field through the publication of multiple highly cited papers during the last decade. These researchers authored publications that rank in the top 1% by citations for field and publication year in the Web of Science citation index.
“Researchers at ORNL are leading the advancement of scientific knowledge in multiple fields,” said ORNL Director Thomas Zacharia. “This recognition demonstrates that the laboratory and our scientists are engaged in cutting-edge research and development to solve some of the world’s biggest challenges.”
The ORNL scientists listed are:
• Miaofang Chi, Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences
• Sheng Dai, Chemical Sciences Division
• Easo George, UT-ORNL Governor’s Chair for Advanced Alloy Theory and Development, Materials Science and Technology Division
• Colleen Iversen, Environmental Sciences Division
• Michael McGuire, Materials Science and Technology Division
• Karren More, Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences
• Richard Norby, retired, Environmental Sciences Division
• Art Ragauskas, UT-ORNL Governor’s Chair for Biorefining, Biosciences Division
