November 2009
Following the latest bimonthly update to
Essential Science IndicatorsSM from
Thomson Reuters,
ScienceWatch.com has produced a listing of the scientists,
institutions, countries, and journals that have achieved the highest
percentage increase in total citations from the second bimonthly period of
2009 to the third bimonthly period of 2009—that is, from April 2009
to June 2009. These entities are singled out as Rising Stars in their
respective fields.
Among the scientists, those named as Rising Stars are given in the table
below. There is a tie in the field of Plant & Animal Sciences due to
the presence of coauthors in the analysis.
