The data above were extracted from
Thomson Scientific's
Essential
Science IndicatorsSM database. This database, currently
covering the period January 1997 to October 2007, surveys only journal
articles (original research reports and review articles) indexed by Thomson
Scientific. Articles are assigned to a category based on the journals in
which they were published and Thomson Scientific’s
journal-to-category field definition scheme. Both articles tabulated and
citation counts to those articles are for the period indicated. Naturally,
scientists publishing large numbers of papers have a greater likelihood of
collecting more citations than scientists publishing fewer papers. This
ranking is by total citations. For articles with multiple authors, each
author receives full, not fractional, citation credit. Another ranking
could be based on citations per paper, which reveals weighted impact.
Essential Science Indicators lists authors ranked in the top 1%
for a field over a given period, based on total citations. For the current
version, 2,142 authors are listed in the field of geosciences, meaning that
a total of 214,200 author records were reviewed to obtain these results.
The listing is dominated by researchers working on atmospheric science and
climatology, an indication of recent scientific interest and progress in
the subject of climate change. Visit
Essential
Science Indicators from Thomson Scientific for more information.
