Bebchuk Included in the Thomson Reuters List of Most Influential Authors in all Research Fields

Professor Lucian Bebchuk was recently included in the list of most highly cited authors in academic research during 2002-2012 issued by Thomson Reuters.

Spotlighting the standout researchers of the last decade, Thomson Reuters has issued Highly Cited Researchers, a compilation of influential names in science. These researchers earned the distinction by writing the greatest numbers of reports officially designated by Essential Science Indicators as Highly Cited Papers—ranking among the top 1% most cited for their subject field and year of publication—between 2002 and 2012. According to Thomsen Reuters, “the listings of Highly Cited Researchers feature authors whose published work in their specialty areas has consistently been judged by peers to be of particular significance and utility.”

The list includes about 3,000 authors in 21 main fields of science and the social sciences. The large majority of listed authors come from the natural and life sciences, including physics, biology, genetics, medicine, computer science, and engineering, with only about 370 from the social sciences, including economics & business, psychiatry/psychology, and other social science fields. Lucian Bebchuk was listed in the category of Highly Cited Researchers in the social sciences.
