An ICMA academic has been named as one of the most influential researchers in the world, according to a new global analysis.

The Clarivate Highly Cited Researchers 2022 lists more than 6,900 most cited researchers in the world - those who have published a high number of papers ranking in the top 1% most-cited in their respective fields over the past decade, according to Web of Science.

Professor Andrew Urquhart, Professor of Finance and Financial Technology and Head of the ICMA Centre, has been named alongside four other academics from the University of Reading in the Highly Cited Researchers list.

Professor Urquhart said:

“I am delighted to be listed on the Clarivate Highly Cited Researchers for 2022, who only include 1 in 1,000 of researchers around the globe. This is not only recognition of my work, but of the support I receive from the ICMA Centre and Henley Business School, as well as my excellent and dedicated co-authors.”

The University of Reading researchers included in the list are:

  • Professor Nigel Arnell – a climate scientist looking at the global impacts of climate change
  • Professor Glenn Gibson - a microbiologist who has shown the role of gut bacteria on human health
  • Professor Ed Hawkins – a climate scientist who designed the now world-famous climate stripes to raise awareness about rising global temperatures
  • Professor Simon Potts - an ecologist who studies the role of bees and pollinators

Professor Justin Paul, a visiting professor at Henley Business School, was also named in the Clarivate Highly Cited Researchers 2022 list, in the Economics and Business category.
