UCL Eastman researchers among most cited in field of dentistry

SCOPUS/ELSEVIER "August 2024 update for "Updated science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators," a database including the top 100,000 most-cited authors across all scientific fields and/or of those who rank in the top 2% most-cited authors in the scientific field/sub-field of Clinical Medicine/Dentistry. 

UCL Eastman researchers (in alphabetical order):

• Colin Hopper (Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)
• Jonathan Knowles (Biomaterials Science)
• Ian Needleman (Periodontology)

The ranking was based on a composite indicator that is updated every year and considered different citation metrics calculated using Scopus citation data over 27 years  (from 1996 to 2023). This is believed to provide a measure of the long-term performance of an academic, and for many active scientists, this also reflects their career-long impact. In this year's update, the citations to the papers of 3,225,122 authors in Clinical Medicine,  were assessed, including 89,635 authors in the Dentistry subfield.  Among these 89,635, a total of 556  ranked in the top 100,000 most-cited authors across all scientific fields and 1,859 ranked in the top 2% most-cited authors in the Dentistry sub-field worldwide.
