Mannheim psychologist Sabine Sonnentag among the most cited scientists worldwide

The “Highly Cited Researchers” list includes the most internationally cited researchers in 20 disciplines in the natural, life and social sciences as well as in the “Cross-Field” category. To be included in this prestigious list, researchers must present so-called “Highly Cited Papers”. These studies are among the most highly cited publications in their field and year of publication. The citation frequency is an important indicator of the scientific influence of a publication.
In addition to citation activity, a qualitative analysis and expert assessments are also included in the evaluation. Publications from 2013 to 2023 were evaluated for the current list.
