Valery Feigin has been named a Clarivate Highly Cited Researcher for the 6th year in a row.
In 2023, there are only 22 Highly Cited Researchers in New Zealand and only one at AUT. 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. However, citation activity is not the sole selection indicator. A preliminary list based on citation activity is then refined using qualitative analysis and expert judgement.
Of the world’s population of scientists and social scientists, Highly Cited Researchers™ are 1 in 1,000.
