Eleven Greek researchers have been named among the most highly cited scientists in the world, according to the 2020 list of ‘Highly Cited Researchers’ released by Clarivate Analytics.

More than 6,000 researchers – out of a total of 9 million around the globe – who have great influence in the fields of science and social science were selected for the 2020 list.

The results were based on the number of highly cited papers the scientists produced from January 2009 to December 2019.
