Dana Farber

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is proud to announce that 34 of its researchers have been named to the Highly Cited Researchers list of 2023, released today by the Institute for Scientific Information at Clarivate.

Highly Cited Researchers from Clarivate is an annual list recognizing influential researchers in the sciences and social sciences from around the world, who have demonstrated significant and broad influence in their field(s) of research. Each researcher selected has authored multiple Highly Cited Papers which rank in the top 1% by citations for their field(s) and publication year in the Web of Science over the past decade. Of the world’s population of scientists and social scientists, Highly Cited Researchers are 1 in 1,000.

“The groundbreaking research being done at Dana-Farber is benefitting patients in Boston and around the world,” said Kevin M.?Haigis, Chief Research Officer at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. “It is an honor for so many of our talented and accomplished faculty to be named as Highly Cited Researchers.”

The data to develop the list derives from Essential Science Indicators, a component of?InCites. For their 2023 analysis, Clarivate reviewed 188,500 Highly Cited Papers from 20 broad fields in Essential Science Indicators, defined by sets of journals and exceptionally, in the case of multidisciplinary journals such as Nature and Science, by a paper-by-paper assignment to a field based on an analysis of the cited references in the papers. Data are taken from article and review papers only.

David Pendlebury, Head of Research Analysis at the Institute for Scientific Information at Clarivate said: “The Highly Cited Researchers list identifies and celebrates exceptional individual researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute whose significant and broad influence in their fields translates to impact in their research community and innovations that make the world healthier, more sustainable and more secure.
