Published: 15 November 2023
Annual list includes 16 researchers among the world’s most cited, Canada retains 6th place overall in global ranking
Â鶹AV today announced that 16 of its researchers have been included on the Highly Cited Researchers™ (HCRs) list, as published by Clarivate. To be included in the prestigious list, researchers must rank in the top 1% worldwide for their fields and publications in the Web of Science index. In being named to this list, these Â鶹AVians join a cohort of 6,849 individuals around the world who have all been recognized for their academic contributions.
“I am extremely proud of the accomplishments of our researchers,” said Professor Martha Crago, Vice Principal, Research and Innovation. “Being one of the world’s most cited in any field is no small task, and this collective recognition reflects the outstanding quality of our academic community. My congratulations to all the people on this list.”

Canadian researchers are among the most cited in the world, and have been for some time. This year, Canada retained 6th place overall, with 218 HCRs or a share of 3.1% of the world total. Many countries in the top 10 saw declines in their percentage of the world’s share, but Canada’s relative portion remained unchanged. Chinese researchers, however, saw their numbers grow by 1.7% since 2022. US researchers are the most cited, with 2,669 HCRs.
