Nine TUM professors included in the "Highly Cited Researchers" ranking

The most highly cited researchers worldwide

In their papers, scientists routinely cite the most important work previously published on the topic. This makes the total number of citations of a paper a good indicator of the quality of the research behind it. To identify the most highly cited researchers, the US company Clarivate Analytics analyzes its "Web of Science" database, which covers scientific publications in a broad range of subjects.

The rankings list the scientists who were cited most frequently in their subject areas in the period from 2008 to 2018. Researchers who are frequently cited in multiple fields are listed in the "cross-field" category. The list contains the names of about 6,200 persons in no specific order, including the following professors at TUM:
