El-Sayed, Pop and Selengut Make List of Highly Cited Researchers

Najib El-Sayed, Mihai Pop and Jeremy Selengut, all in the Center for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, are included on Thomson Reuter’s newly launched list of Highly Cited Researchers, a compilation of influential names in science.

Deriving from InCites Essential Science Indicators, a subset of the Web of Science, Highly Cited Researchers includes more than 3,000 authors in 21 main fields of science and the social sciences. These researchers earned the distinction by writing the greatest numbers of reports officially designated by Essential Science Indicators as Highly Cited Papers—ranking among the top 1 percent most cited for their subject field and year of publication—between 2002 and 2012. The listings of Highly Cited Researchers feature authors whose published work in their specialty areas has consistently been judged by their peers to be of particular use and significance.
