Congratulations to Distinguished Professor Michelle Craske and Professor Carrie Bearden for being named among the most influential researchers worldwide this year. The Highly Cited Researchers list, compiled each year by analytics firm Clarivate, identifies scholars whose work has been cited most often in papers published by other researchers in their fields over the past decade. Researchers chosen for the 2023 list have authored studies that rank in the top 1% in the number of scholarly citations worldwide.
