Of note, Yang Yang, UCLA’s Carol and Lawrence E. Tannas, Jr. Professor of Engineering, was recognized in three fields: chemistry, materials science and physics.

In its annual list, the analytics company names the most highly cited researchers — those whose work was most often referenced by other scientific research papers for the preceding decade in 21 fields across the sciences and social sciences. (The 2018 list is based on citations between 2006 and 2016.)

The researchers rank in the top 1 percent in their fields in producing widely cited studies, indicating that their work “has been repeatedly judged by their peers to be of notable significance and utility,” according to Clarivate.
