Clarivate Highly Cited Researchers 2023

Professor Paul Glasziou AO has been named among the top 1% of researchers worldwide for the 6th year running. To make this prestigious list researchers must have demonstrated significant and broad influence in their field(s) of research. Each researcher selected has authored multiple Highly Cited Papers™ 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.

Congratulations Paul! Your consistent presence in the top 1% of global researchers, excelling across multiple fields, reaffirms your exceptional and diverse contributions to the academic landscape.
