Placement on the list is a significant achievement for those named. Listed researchers’ citation records position them in the very highest strata of influence and impact, with the list including 23 Nobel laureates.

Australian research institutes continue to impress this year. The number of researchers recognised as Highly Cited has more than tripled in six years, from 80 in 2014 to 271 in 2019, among those selected in one or more of the 21 fields. Australian research institutions appear to have recruited a significant number of Highly Cited Researchers since 2014 while also increasing their number of homegrown Highly Cited Researchers.

Congratulations also to FLEET Partners and Advisors Antonio H Castro Neto, Barbaros Ozyilmaz, Allan MacDonald, Ferenc Krausz, Ian Spielman.
