CU Boulder researchers featured among highly cited researchers in 2025
Clarivate’s Highly Cited Researchers 2025 list, announced on Nov. 12, again includes a number CU Boulder faculty who are demonstrating “broad and significant influence in their fields.”
In addition to authoring “multiple Highly Cited Papers ranking the top 1% by citations for their field(s) and publication year in the Web of Science Core Collection over the past eleven years,” these individuals are further selected through a rigorous process including both quantitative and qualitative measures.
These researchers are being recognized for their outsized influence on their fields of study globally.
