Roderic Guigó, coordinator of the Bioinformatics and Genomics Programme, and Toni Gabaldon, ICREA research professor and group leader of the Comparative Genomics laboratory; are among the 1% most cited researchers in their fields.

The Highly Cited Researchers list recognises world-class researchers selected for their exceptional research performance, demonstrated by production of multiple highly cited papers that rank in the top 1% by citations for field and year in Web of Science. This year, the list analises papers published between 2006 and 2016.

On its fifth edition, they identify for the first time researchers with cross-field impact. Clarivate Analytics introduced a new Cross-Field category that aims to identify researchers who have contributed to highly cited papers across several different fields. This is the first year that we identify researchers with cross-field impact
