The data above were extracted from Clarivate’s Essential
Science Indicators database. This database, currently covering the
period January 1997 to August 2007, surveys only journal articles (original
research reports and review articles) indexed by Clarivate. Articles
are assigned to a category based on the journals in which they were
published and Clarivate’s journal-to-category field definition
scheme. Both articles tabulated and citation counts to those articles are
for the period indicated.
Naturally, scientists publishing large numbers of papers have a greater
likelihood of collecting more citations than scientists publishing fewer
papers. This ranking is by total citations. For articles with multiple
authors, each author receives full, not fractional, citation credit.
Another ranking could be based on citations per paper, which reveals
weighted impact.
It should be noted that Malenka and Nicholl, as well as Trojanowski and
Lee, are co-authors on a number of highly cited articles. Essential
Science Indicators lists authors ranked in the top 1% for a field over
a given period, based on total citations. For the current version, 3,214
authors are listed in the field of neuroscience and behaviour, meaning that
a total of 321,400 author records were reviewed to obtain these results.
