The data above were extracted from Thomson Scientific’s Essential
Science Indicators database. This database, currently covering the
period January 1997 to December 2007, surveys only journal articles
(original research reports and review articles) indexed by Thomson
Scientific. Articles are assigned to a category based on the journals in
which they were published and Thomson Scientific’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. A
survey of the research interests of these scientists reveals all work in
plant sciences, chiefly in genetics, biochemistry, and physiology, as well
as in plant diversity, ecosystems, and improved crop yields.
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, 4,084 authors are listed in the field of plant and animal science,
meaning that a total of approximately 408,400 authors’ records were
reviewed to obtain these results.
