64 Citation Laureates named by the Institute for Scientific Information have
gone on to receive a Nobel Prize LONDON, Sept. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Clarivate Plc (NYSE: CLVT), a global leader in providing trusted information and insights to accelerate the pace of innovation, today named 20 world-class researchers from four countries as Citation Laureates . These are researchers whose work is deemed to be 'of Nobel class', as demonstrated by analysis carried out by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), part of Clarivate. The contributions of this year's Citation Laureates include transformative research in breast and ovarian cancer, flexible 'electronic skin', the economics of happiness and well-being and more. Fourteen of the honorees are based at leading academic institutions in the United States, three are based in Japan, two are based in the United Kingdom and one is based in Germany. Each year since 2002, ISI analysts have drawn on Web of Science publication and citation data to identify influential researchers in the research areas recognized by Nobel Prizes: Physiology or Medicine, Physics, Chemistry and Economics. Out of some 55 million articles and proceedings indexed in the Web of Science since 1970, only about 7,600 (.01%) have been cited 2,000 or more times. It is from the authors of this group of papers that Citation Laureates are identified and selected. They are individuals whose research publications are highly cited and whose contributions in their fields have been extremely influential, even transformative. In early October 2022, the Nobel Assembly will vote to confer science's highest honor. While this annual rite inspires worldwide speculation, Clarivate is the only organization to use quantitative data in addition to qualitative assessment to provide valuable insights about who might be chosen. To date, 64 Citation Laureates listed in the Hall of Citation Laureates have gone on to receive a Nobel Prize. The 2022 Citation Laureates are: | Physiology or Medicine | | Masato Hasegawa, Head of Department of Brain & Neurosciences, Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Medical Science, Tokyo, Japan, and Virginia Man-Yee Lee, John H.

David Pendlebury, Head of Research Analysis at ISI said: "The impact of this year's Citation Laureates is immense and represents transformational and pioneering research. It is an honor to recognize and celebrate their work, which Clarivate deems of Nobel class. We expect that some of these research elites will go on to receive a Nobel Prize, demonstrating once again the strong link between their substantial citation records and their influence on peers." Commenting on his recognition as a Citation Laureate, E. Peter Greenberg, Professor of Microbiology at the University of Washington School of Medicine said: "The scientific enterprise is not about people and personalities, but rather discovery and progress. We stand on the shoulders of others. I was therefore pleasantly surprised to be selected as a Citation Laureate because the honor is different from others in that it recognizes the impact of one's body of publications. I was in on the ground floor of something that blossomed, and what we have published has garnered the attention of our peers. This reflects an active field of vibrant researchers and teams who are publishing and referencing our work, and to have witnessed our field develop is, to me, pretty neat."
