Seventeen Academy Fellows have been recognised in a list of the world’s most influential researchers compiled by Thomson Reuters.
The list is derived using a range of research indicators and presents more than 3,000 authors in 21 main fields of science and the social sciences. The researchers rank among the top 1% most cited for their subject field and year of publication—between 2002 and 2012.
Only 65 Australians made the list, according to the ABC.
