Prof. Mike Wingfield again included in the Highly Cited 2023 2023-11-22
FABI is proud of Professor Mike Wingfield for being included in the Clarivate Web of Science Highly Cited Researchers 2023 for the seventh consecutive year. Mike is one of ten such honoured academics in South Africa and one of only two at the University of Pretoria (the other being the economist, Prof. Rangan Gupta) in the list that this year includes 7,125 highly-cited researchers globally. The other South African researchers included in the list are from Northwest University, University of Cape Town, University of the Witwatersrand, Stellenbosch University and Tshwane University of Technology. Each researcher selected for inclusion in this list has authored multiple “Highly Cited Paper” which rank in the top 1% by citations for their field(s) and publication year in the Web of Science over the past decade. However, citation activity is not the sole selection indicator. A preliminary list based on citation activity is then refined using qualitative analysis and expert judgement.
