The data above were extracted from
Clarivate'sEssential
Science IndicatorsSM 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,
institutions publishing large numbers of papers have a greater likelihood
of collecting more citations than scientists publishing fewer papers. This
ranking is by citations per paper (impact), among those institutions that
have collected 50,000 or more citations. This two-pronged analysis seeks to
reveal the “heavy hitters,” and in doing so turns up smaller
producers with outsized influence.
For papers with multiple institutional addresses, each institution receives
full, not fractional, citation credit. Essential Science Indicators lists
institutions ranked in the top 1% for a field over a given period, based on
total citations. For the current version, 373 institutions are listed in
the field of molecular biology and genetics, meaning that a total of 37,300
institutions were reviewed to obtain these results. Of the 373, 56
institutions collected 50,000 or more citations. Cancer Research UK
supports research at many institutions throughout the United Kingdom, and
is similar in its organization to the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in
the United States.
