RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
In selecting the Citation Awardees, the primary focus was on India-based researchers who had written multiple “Highly Cited Papers” over the past decade, 2002-2011. Data for this analysis were extracted from Highly Cited Papers as identified in Essential Science IndicatorsSM from Thomson Reuters. Highly Cited Papers are defined as the top 1% of research papers worldwide in each of 22 disciplines based on total citations as determined by field and publication year. This provides a method of normalization because different fields exhibit different average rates of citation and older papers will have had more time to be cited than younger ones. A threshold of at least five Highly Cited Papers was set as the minimum requirement for selection in order to identify only individuals who demonstrated repeated high impact (citation impact) contributions in their field. The average number of citations per paper (termed “citation impact”) reflects the scientific influence of the published research in the given field.
After the selections were made, each name was confirmed in the most recent version of Essential Science IndicatorsSM (which includes citation counts through 30 April 2012). This ensured each awardee still claimed authorship of five or more Highly Cited Papers published since 2002 (articles and conference proceedings papers only). The Essential Science IndicatorsSM is derived from the Thomson Reuters Web of Science® multidisciplinary citation database which includes all articles, reviews and proceedings papers. Indian scientists who had previously been recognised at Thomson Reuters events in 2004, 2006 and 2009 were not considered for selection.
From this analysis, 10 high-impact Indian scientists were identified. These researchers are among India’s most accomplished contemporary scientists, highly esteemed by their peers, not just in India but around the globe.
