The 2021 list recognises 6602 researchers from more than 70 countries, whose citation records position them in the very highest strata of influence and impact, including 24 Nobel laureates. The UK is third on the world rankings with 492 researchers included this year.
The methodology that determines the “who’s who” of influential researchers is based on publications that rank in the top 1% by citations for field and publication year in the Web of Science™ citation index.

It also uses the tallies to identify the countries and research institutions where these scientific elite are based.
