For researchers in all disciplines, it is important that their own work is cited in other publications. How often they are cited by their peers is a key indicator of how respected and influential they are within the scientific community. A publication is considered "highly cited" if it ranks among the top 1 per cent of total citations in its subject area and year of publication. Publications between January 2012 and December 2022 were analysed for the current list.
