Highly Cited Researchers demonstrate significant and broad influence in their fields of research.
This small fraction of the global researcher population contributes disproportionately to extending the frontiers of knowledge and contributing to innovations that make the world healthier, more sustainable and which drive societal impact.
Each researcher selected has authored a minimum number of Highly Cited Papers (research documents which rank in the top 1% by citations for their field(s) and publication year in the Web of Science Core Collection over the past eleven years) and has a minimum number of citations.
The broader selection process is designed to spotlight researchers who exemplify excellence in their research as well as integrity in their publication and citation practices.
The addition of enhanced filters to address hyper-authorship, excessive self-citation, anomalous citation patterns, and more ensures that recognised researchers meet the benchmarks required for our Highly Cited Researchers program and emphasises our commitment to research integrity.
'Honoured and happy'
Dr Rehmani said: “I have no words to express my feelings. This is indeed an honour for me to see my name in the Highly Cited Researchers 2025 List. I am so honoured and happy!”
