Today, the Web of Science Group released its annual list of Highly Cited Researchers. On it is IBC2 Director Ivan Dikic, who is recognized for his outstanding record in the field of Molecular Biology and Genetics. The list was curated by analyzing highly-cited papers published between 2008 and 2018. According to the definition, a highly-cited paper is one that at the end of 2018 ranked in the top 1% by citations in a given field and year. Based on the total count of citations for those papers, researchers are then ranked, and the top 1% in each field are selected for the list. By this method, scientists are identified who have published multiple highly-cited papers and who therefore have significant and broad influence in their field. It is the second year in a row that Ivan is on the list, in 2018 he was recognized in the Cross-Field section. Congratulations to Ivan!
