Congratulations to Christoph on Achieving Highly Cited Researcher Status for the 11th Consecutive Year!
We are thrilled to celebrate Christoph’s remarkable achievement of being recognized as a Highly Cited Researcher (HCR) in the cross-field by the Web of Science Group, part of Clarivate Analytics, for an unprecedented 11th consecutive year! This accolade places him among the top 1% of scientists globally for over a decade.
The HCR list acknowledges researchers who have authored multiple Highly Cited Papers™, ranking in the top 1% by citations in their field and publication year over the past decade in the Web of Science™. Selection is further refined through qualitative analysis and expert judgment, ensuring recognition of researchers with broad, community-wide influence and recognition from an international network of citing authors.
Out of a global population of scientists and social scientists, Highly Cited Researchers are 1 in 1,000, with only 6,886 researchers awarded this honor in 2024. From Germany, 332 researchers made the list, including 4 from FAU. This incredible milestone reflects Christoph’s dedication, groundbreaking contributions, and far-reaching impact.
