A. Ioannidis, the list rates scientists globally on metrics that measure the types and numbers of citations they have.<\/p>\n<p>Citations, which appear in academic papers, are references made to earlier research. The number of times a researcher\u2019s work is referenced in other peer-reviewed work is one important indicator of their research impact and reputation.<\/p>\n<p>The latest update to this list includes a career-long database containing 195,605 researchers globally, or about two per cent of researchers worldwide. Though billed as a list of scientists, the ranking includes social sciences and humanities scholars.<\/p>\n<p>Thirty-eight of these researchers are from Brock University.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis ranking shows the strong place that Brock researchers hold among the most influential and high-impact scholars worldwide,\u201d says Vice-President, Research Tim Kenyon. \u201cIt is a powerful illustration of the world-class inquiry happening at Brock every day, in every discipline.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Brock University researchers who are among the top two per cent of scientists with the most citations

number of methods to create a single ranking, in spite of large differences in the customs and practices of citation across disciplines.<\/p>\n<p>Citation indices do not universally capture the impacts of all research types, Kenyon also notes, including work published in books rather than in journals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo single type of measure tells the whole story of great research,\u201d he says. \u201cA great deal of excellent, high-impact research and creative inquiry leads directly to policies, community practices, live performances or works of art, rather than to other academic publications.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brock\u2019s representation in the Stanford University list has grown substantially from the original <a
