BRC-supported researchers are among many UCL academics named in the internationally recognised annual Clarivate listings of the most influential researchers around the world in 2025.
A total of 66 UCL researchers are named in the list, which researchers who are judged to have ‘exceptional research influence.’
To be featured on the list, a researcher must have published multiple highly-cited scientific papers which rank in the top 1% of papers based on citations in the Web of Science – a global database of citations.
They are then assessed by an expert panel for evidence of community-wide recognition from an international and wide-ranging network of citing authors.
