Yangchao Luo, associate professor of nutritional sciences, and Zhe Zhu, associate professor of natural resources and the environment, are the two UConn faculty named to the list.
The 2024 Highly Cited Researchers list, released by Clarivate and the Web of Science index, uses both quantitative and qualitative analysis to identify individuals from around the world who have demonstrated significant and broad influence in their chosen field of research.
The list of Highly Cited Researchers is drawn from the highly cited papers that rank in the top one percent by citations for field and publication year in the Web of Science citation index over the past decade.
The list also identifies the research institutions and regions where they are based.
The methodology that determines the “who’s who” of influential researchers draws on the data and analysis performed by bibliometric experts and data scientists at the Institute for Scientific Information at Clarivate.
At the time of the report, Luo has a total of 175 publications and has been cited more than 11,000 times in over 8,000 articles.
