NUS researchers are among the world\u2019s most impactful scientists in the fields of Chemistry, Computer Science & Engineering, Economics & Business, Engineering, Environment\/Ecology, Material Science, Mathematics, Physics and more<\/p>\n
For the fifth year in a row, researchers at NUS have been crowned as some of the most influential in the world. A report by Clarivate Analytics released on 27 November declared that 30 researchers at NUS are among the top cited academics globally in their respective fields. This figure more than doubles the number of NUS scientists that made the list last year.<\/p>\n
Professor Tan Eng Chye, NUS President stated, \u201cWe are heartened to see an increasing number of NUS researchers making their mark as top researchers in their fields, contributing to Singapore\u2019s research community and influencing the world with their scientific excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a testament of NUS\u2019 strong commitment in growing and nurturing exceptional research talent who are inspirational and capable of making a difference to the world. We are proud of the achievements and growing impact of the highly talented researchers at NUS,\u201d Prof Tan continued.<\/p>\n
The\u00a02018 Highly Cited Researchers<\/em>\u00a0report is based on scientific papers published and cited over an 11-year period between 2006 and 2016. This year\u2019s report lists some 4,000 researchers having multiple papers ranking in the top 1 per cent by citations for their field and year, across 21 fields of sciences and social sciences.<\/p>\n The list was compiled using Essential Science Indicators, which are a unique collection of science performance metrics and trends based on paper publication counts and citation data from more than 33,000 journals listed in the\u00a0Web of Science Core Collection<\/em>.<\/p>\n We are heartened to see an increasing number of NUS researchers making their mark as top researchers in their fields, contributing to Singapore\u2019s research community and influencing the world with their scientific excellence.” \u2014 Prof Tan Eng Chye, NUS President<\/p>\n The named NUS academics showed a particular aptitude for cross-field investigations, with almost half conducting research that spans different scientific subjects. Prof Tan added that this attests to the multidisciplinary and highly collaborative research environment NUS provides, enabling researchers, institutions and companies to work closely across different disciplines to accelerate innovation for the betterment of the society.<\/p>\n The 30 highly cited NUS researchers are:<\/p>\n Department of Chemistry<\/p>\n NUS Faculty of Science<\/td>\n Department of Chemistry<\/p>\n NUS Faculty of Science<\/td>\n Department of Chemistry<\/p>\n NUS Faculty of Science<\/td>\n Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering<\/p>\n NUS Faculty of Engineering<\/td>\n Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering<\/p>\n NUS Faculty of Engineering<\/td>\n Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering<\/p>\n NUS Faculty of Engineering<\/td>\n Department of Chemistry and Department of Physics<\/p>\n NUS Faculty of Science<\/td>\n Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering<\/p>\n NUS Faculty of Engineering<\/td>\n Department of Chemistry and Department of Physics<\/p>\n NUS Faculty of Science<\/td>\n Health Services & Systems Research Programme<\/p>\n Duke-NUS Medical School<\/td>\n Department of Biochemistry<\/p>\n NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine<\/td>\n Cardiovascular & Metabolic Disorders Programme<\/p>\n Duke-NUS Medical School<\/td>\n NUS Biomedical Institute for Global Health Research and Technology<\/p>\n Department of Biomedical Engineering and Department of Mechanical Engineering, NUS Faculty of Engineering<\/td>\n Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering<\/p>\n NUS Faculty of Engineering<\/td>\n Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering<\/p>\n NUS Faculty of Engineering<\/td>\n Duke-NUS Medical School<\/p>\n Department of Ophthalmology, NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine<\/td>\n Department of Biomedical Engineering<\/p>\n NUS Faculty of Engineering<\/td>\n NUS Energy Studies Institute<\/td>\n Department of Chemistry<\/p>\n NUS Faculty of Science<\/td>\n Department of Industrial Systems Engineering & Management<\/p>\n NUS Faculty of Engineering<\/td>\n Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering<\/p>\n NUS Faculty of Engineering<\/td>\n Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering<\/p>\n NUS Faculty of Engineering<\/td>\n Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering<\/p>\n NUS Faculty of Engineering<\/td>\n Department of Biological Sciences<\/p>\n NUS Faculty of Science<\/td>\n Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering<\/p>\n NUS Faculty of Engineering<\/td>\n Department of Mechanical Engineering<\/p>\n NUS Faculty of Engineering<\/td>\n Department of Mathematics<\/p>\n NUS Faculty of Science<\/td>\n NUS Centre for Advanced 2D Materials<\/p>\n Department of Physics, NUS Faculty of Science<\/td>\n Department of Physics<\/p>\n NUS Faculty of Science<\/td>\n Centre for Quantum Technologies at NUS<\/p>\n Department of Physics, NUS Faculty of Science<\/td>\n <\/p>\n * Article from NUS news<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NUS researchers are among the world\u2019s most impactful scientists in the fields of Chemistry, Computer Science & Engineering, Economics & Business, Engineering, Environment\/Ecology, Material Science, Mathematics, Physics and more For the fifth year in a row, researchers at NUS have been crowned as some of the most influential in the world.
