Most influential

6,938 researchers from 69 countries and regions have been named 'Highly Cited Researcher' this year. Jos Raaijmakers is once again included in the list because of his influence among his peers in the field of microbiology.

Terrestrial ecologist Wim van der Putten is included in Clarivate's 'cross-field' category, for which you must have influence equivalent to that of people featured in one of the individual subject categories.

NIOO-researchers Marcel Visser (2015, 2016 and 2017), Hans van Veen (2001) and guest researcher Martijn Bezemer (2022) were previously listed as highly cited researchers. Clarivate: "Once a researcher is designated as Highly Cited by Clarivate Analytics, that researcher is always deemed Highly Cited in our view."
