A consistently high level of innovation: Prof Brabec 'Highly Cited Researcher' for the 12th time in a row
Erlangen, 22 November 2023 - For the 12th time in a row, HI ERN Director Prof. Dr Christoph Brabec has been included on the list of the world's most cited scientists.
Prof. Christoph Brabec, Director of the Helmholtz Institute Erlangen-Nürnberg (HI ERN), is once again one of the most cited and therefore most influential researchers in the world this year, demonstrating a consistently high level of innovation. This is the conclusion reached by the Web of Science Group, which lists scientific articles from tens of thousands of specialist journals and is part of Clarivate Analytics.
This award recognizes significant research achievements that are cited with above-average frequency in scientific publications worldwide. It is regarded as one of the most important indicators of scientific excellence.
The materials researcher is once again represented in the “cross-field” category, which signifies a wide-ranging achievement: his influence extends beyond the field of materials science.
Christoph Brabec heads the High Throughput Methods in Photovoltaics research department at HI ERN. He develops manufacturing processes for organic electronics, including innovative solar modules and rollable displays.
6,636 researchers from 59 countries
Publications are considered “Highly Cited Papers” if they are among the most cited one percent in the year of publication. Scientists who write several such influential papers over a period of ten years make it onto the list - this year 6,636 researchers from 59 countries. Compared to the previous year, Germany remains in fourth place with 332 scientists - behind the USA (2,507), China (1,405) and the UK (563).
The methodology used to identify the “Who's Who” of influential researchers is based on data and analysis conducted by bibliometrics experts and data scientists from the Institute for Scientific Information™ at Clarivate.
