Great Success: Three cfaed researchers are among the most cited worldwide
Published on in PRESS RELEASES
Three researchers affiliated with cfaed are among the world's most cited academics in their respective disciplines. This is one of the latest findings of the Highly-Cited Researcher Rankings, analyzed by the Institute for Scientific Information from the American company Clarivate Analytics. Over all, 11 TUD-own researchers and two stating TUD as their second affiliation are among the world's most cited academics in their respective disciplines. Nationally, TUD has reasserted its research prowess and once again positioned itself in the top group of universities in Germany.
"The fact that we have now been able to build upon the already superb results of previous years is outstanding proof of the research strength of our scientists. They make decisive contributions to the state of research in their respective disciplines, which in turn have a particularly strong impact on the scientific communities. The results of the current ranking of the Highly Cited Researchers underpin TUD’s position as a research-strong, University of Excellence," emphasizes Prof. Angela Rösen-Wolff, Vice-Rector Research and Technology Transfer at TUD.
Background: Most cited cfaed researchers (in alphabetical order)
The following ranking takes into account the research fields of the persons concerned and includes links to their profiles in TUD's Research Information System (FIS).
- Feng, Xinliang, Prof. Dr. rer. nat., Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden (cfaed), Chair of Molecular Functional Materials (cfaed): Category Chemistry and Category Materials Science (second affiliation Max Planck Society)
- Mikolajick, Thomas, Prof. Dr.-Ing., Chair of Nanoelectronics, Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden (cfaed): Category Cross-Field (second affiliation NaMLab GmbH, Germany)
- Yu, Minghao, Dr. rer. nat., Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden (cfaed), Chair of Molecular Functional Materials (cfaed): Category Cross-Field (second affiliation Max Planck Society)
Background: Highly-Cited Researchers
Highly-cited researchers boast a significant and far-reaching influence in their fields of research. This small part of the global research community contributes disproportionately to the expansion of knowledge boundaries and to innovations that make the world healthier and more sustainable, all the while driving social change. Each selected researcher has authored a minimum number of highly-cited articles (research documents that rank in the top 1% of cited articles in the Web of Science Core Collection for their subject area and publication year over the last eleven years) and a minimum number of citations. Citation frequency, however, is not the only selection indicator. This list, which is based on citation data, is subsequently refined using other quantitative key figures, qualitative analyses and expert opinions. The more comprehensive selection process is designed to highlight researchers who have demonstrated outstanding research achievements and integrity in their publications and citations. Adding enhanced filters to circumvent hyperauthorship, excessive self-citations, anomalous citation patterns, etc. ensures that recognized researchers meet the benchmarks required for the Highly-Cited Researchers program.
