More than 180 UT Faculty Members Among World’s Top 2% of Cited Scientists
Stanford University’s annual list of the top 2% of scientists cited by other researchers around the world was recently released, and this year’s version includes 183 faculty members from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, including the UT Institute of Agriculture. The database includes almost 205,000 scientists, engineers and mathematicians worldwide whose work has been most cited by peers throughout their careers.
“Having your work cited by your peers is not only validation of what you have accomplished, it also demonstrates that your contributions are advancing the knowledge frontier,” said Vice Chancellor for Research, Innovation, and Economic Development Deborah Crawford.
“The fact that UT has more than 180 faculty among the world’s top 2% is an indication not only of the impact of UT Research but of the value of a UT education, for UT students have the opportunity to learn from the world’s best and brightest.”
