EPFL Basic Sciences in 2019 Highly Cited Researchers list

Since 2014, Clarivate Analytics has produced an annual Highly Cited Researchers list of scientists whose publications during the previous decade contain a notable number of papers that are in the top 1% most cited paper for their publication year.

The papers are categorized in one or more of 21 main subject fields the Essential Science Indicators (ESI), which forms a database of emerging science trends in various fields of research used by policymakers, government agencies, universities, corporations, recruiters, the press and others.

This year, the Highly Cited Researchers list includes 24 EPFL scientists, seventeen of which are researchers with the School of Basic Sciences: thirteen from the Institute of Chemical Science and Engineering (ISIC), two from the Institute of Physics (IPHYS), and two from the Institute of Mathematics (MATH):
