June 20, 2014

Thomson Reuters has selected iCeMS Director Susumu Kitagawa as one of its Extenal Link2014 Highly Cited Researchers for ranking in the top 1% most cited papers in the field of chemistry.

This distinction was determined after examining the top 1% cited papers published in Thomson Reuters Web of Science Core Collection -- a database of over 12,000 journals from around the world -- during an 11-year period spanning from 2002 to 2012. Only journals meeting Thomson Reuters' strict criteria are counted, and researchers from 21 general fields were chosen on a percentile-based selection that allows for younger researchers to also make the cut.

In total, 3,215 individuals were selected as 2014 Thomson Reuters Highly Cited Researchers. The first list to come out was in 2001, in which more than 7,000 researchers were included.

Kitagawa was previously awarded as a Thomson Reuters Citation Laureate in 2010.
