A recent study published in PLOS Biology Journal lists 41 current and emeritus UNH researchers among the world's leading 100,000 researchers, in the top 2 percent. The study, led by John P.A. Ioannidis of Stanford University, ranked more than 6 million researchers in 22 disciplines and 176 subdisciplines researchers based on citation metrics from data from 2019. The UNH researchers — from the College of Life Sciences and Agriculture, College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, College of Liberal Arts and Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space — span a wide range of disciplines.
“This impressive list of highly ranked UNH researchers amplifies the major impact our faculty have long had in their fields of study.”
“This impressive list of highly ranked UNH researchers amplifies the major impact our faculty have long had in their fields of study,” says Marian McCord, senior vice provost for research, economic engagement and outreach. “The researchers on this list highlight our strengths in natural resources, space science and physics, microbiology, sociology and crimes against children and psychology.”
Citations — references to source information upon which new research is built — are an important, if imperfect, metric for academic research productivity. The number of citations can indicate the impact of research on one’s field; researchers whose work is highly cited can be considered to contribute fundamental knowledge to a field of study.
