The second year in a row, ten researchers from PIK have made it into the ranking this year: PIK Director Johan Rockström, Stefan Rahmstorf (Co-Chair of PIK Research Domain Earth System Analysis), Hermann Lotze-Campen (Co-Chair of PIK Research Domain Climate Resilience), Jürgen Kurths (Co-Chair of PIK Research Domain Complexity Science), Elmar Kriegler (Co-Chair of PIK Research Domain Transformation Paths), Gunnar Luderer (Deputy Chair of PIK Research Domain Transformation Paths), as well as Malte Meinshausen, Dieter Gerten, Christoph Müller and Alexander Popp.
The Clarivate Analytics ranking reflects the influence of scientific work and illustrates how much other research has been inspired or questioned by it. The ranking is based on data from the Web of Science, a literature and citation database. With an enormous number of citation statistics, the Web of Science is the authoritative compendium for the influence and relevance of worldwide research. For the second time this year, not only the influence within a subject area was analysed, but also interdisciplinary influence. A total of around 6,000 researchers from 60 countries were honoured as highly cited.
