Six of the thirty Duke University researchers named to the 2023 Clarivate list of highly cited researchers are Duke Cancer Institute members.

To make the cut, a published paper has to be ranked in the top 1% for its field for the last decade. Clarivate’s “Institute for Scientific Information” crunches all the numbers.

There are 6,938 highly cited scientists this year, from 69 countries and regions. Several appear in more than one division. The United States still dominates with 38 percent of the honorees, but Chinese scientists are on the rise at 16 percent.
