Clarivate is sharing how its Highly Cited Researchers list has evolved from 2015 to 2025 with two new postings. Highly Cited Researchers: Key Trends 2015-2025 is an interactive dashboard for exploring how the profile of these researchers has shifted over time. “Headline findings” include the following: - The U.S. maintains a clear lead overall, but there are shifts in specific fields: in this dataset, Mainland China leads in Chemistry, Computer Science, Engineering, and Materials Science, compared with the 2014-2024 period where the U.S. led in all fields except Engineering and Materials Science.
- Between 2015 and 2025, Mainland China recorded a twelve-fold increase in Highly Cited Researcher awards.
- Switzerland shows the strongest movement among countries/regions when considering awards relative to researcher population, rising from 8th to 5th position compared to the 2014-2024 analysis.
“Research Powerhouses: The Top 70 Institutions Home to Highly Cited Researchers (2021-2025)” by David Pendlebury, head of research analysis at the Institute for Scientific Information, focuses on “the 70 top research institutions worldwide most frequently home to Highly Cited Researchers over the last five years, showing where research impact is most concentrated.” The post continues, “The top 21 institutions—each with a share of 0.7% or more, or around 50 or more researcher awards annually—account for 23.2% of all Highly Cited Researcher awards. And just six institutions, each with at least a 1% share, collectively account for 12.1% of the total.” The six are the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Harvard University, Stanford University, the U.S. National Institutes of Health, Tsinghua University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
