About the award
To evaluate scholars academic performance, the authors used a total of six citation-related criteria which they compiled into a single measure, the “composite citation index”. This index also accounts for self-citation biases, as the researchers found some scholars' citations being predominantly determined by citations in their own works. Overall, the authors' ranking includes a total of 159,684 leading scientists from the natural sciences and medicine as well as social sciences such as psychology, education, and economics. All ratings reflect the scholars’ career-long citation impact; only citations in refereed journals are considered.
