Boston University Faculty Published Some of the World’s Most Highly-Cited Research

Some of the world’s most influential scientific research in 2019 was produced by the faculty of ECE at Boston University.

Web of Science Group by Clarivate Analytics acknowledges highly cited papers with a trophy listed next to the number of citations. To qualify, Clarivate calculates whose work was most often referenced in other scientific research papers for the preceding decade. This 2019 acknowledgement therefore accounts for citations between 2008-2018.

These researchers’ papers place them in the top 1% of their academic field based on a highly cited threshold for the field and publication year.
