Top 20 Authors
The authors in this analysis hail strictly from Europe and North America. Of the 42 unique authors on these lists, 22 are European, 17 are from the US, and three are from Canada.
Notable among these authors are Michael Weller from the University of Zurich Hospital and Darrell Bigner of Duke University, both of whom rank high by cites and by papers. Weller's work includes immunotherapy, resistance mechanisms, and clinical trials. Bigner's lab leads the Neuro-Oncology Program at the Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center, and focuses on preclinical studies seeking the mechanisms behind brain tumors as well as new immunotherapies for brain tumors.
J. Gregory Cairncross of the University of Calgary is #1 by total citations, and is heavily involved in brain tumor research in Canada. Not only is he Professor and Head of the Department of Clinical Neurosciences at Calgary, but he also founded and co-leads the Brain Tumor Section of the Clinical Trials Group of the National Cancer Institute of Canada. Roger Stupp, who ranks at #4 by total cites, hails from the University Hospital (CHUV) in Lausanne, Switzerland, and currently chairs an international clinical trials group seeking new treatments for glioblastoma.
The top authors also have a tendency to cluster with the top institutions, so along with Darrell Bigner at Duke University, there is also Roger McLendon, Henry Friedman, and David Reardon. In addition to Roger Stupp, CHUV also has Rene Mirimanoff and the late Robert-Charles Janzer. The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), also has a cluster of researchers in the lists, including Susan Chang, Mitchel Berger, Michael Prados, and Kathleen Lamborn.

Overall General Information
Regarding Top 20 Scientists, Institutions, Journals, & Nations
Citation tables allow us to map compelling trends:
- Are there particular nations or institutions that might be expected to dominate research in the Topic area, and do the numbers bear out these expectations, or are there surprises?
- Who are the leading scientists and where are they located?
While these tables cannot offer a complete picture, the number of trends and anomalies that can be spotlighted or connected across categories is striking. The tables often lead to renewed perspectives to further explore and validate.
What are Special Topics?
Special Topics, from ScienceWatch.com, is designed to complement Essential Science IndicatorsSM from Clarivate in providing citation analyses and commentary for selected scientific research areas that have experienced notable recent advances or are of special current interest.
