To compile the list, Clarivate first selects papers over the past decade which rank in the top 1% by citations for their field and publication year. These are then evaluated using qualitative analysis and expert judgment to determine which show evidence of community-wide recognition from an international and wide-ranging network of citing authors.
Researchers appearing on the Clarivate Highly Cited Researchers 2025 represent the top 0.1% of the world’s scientists and social scientists by citations. Barsoum and Gogotsi are among only 187 researchers worldwide to appear on the list for the materials field. Additionally, Gogotsi is one of only 31 scientists in the world to appear in more than two categories.
The full list of highly cited researchers and analysis of the results are available at the Clarivate Highly Cited Researchers website.
