Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is proud to announce that 38 of its researchers have been named to the Highly Cited Researchers list of 2025, released today by the Institute for Scientific Information at Clarivate.
The Highly Cited Researchers list from Clarivate recognizes influential researchers in the sciences and social sciences from around the world who have demonstrated significant and broad contributions in their field of research. Each researcher selected has authored multiple Highly Cited Papers which rank in the top 1% by citations for their field and publication year in the Web of Science over the past decade. Of the world’s population of scientists and social scientists, Highly Cited Researchers are 1 in 1,000.
“This recognition of our faculty underscores their remarkable contributions to cancer research and demonstrates how the discoveries made at Dana-Farber are contributing to scientific and clinical advancements around the world,” said Kevin M. Haigis, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
David Pendlebury, Head of Research Analysis at the Institute for Scientific Information at Clarivate said, “The Highly Cited Researchers list identifies and celebrates exceptional individual researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute who demonstrate significant and broad influence in their fields. These researchers continue to shape the future of science, technology and academia globally and deliver innovation that drives societal progress.”
The data to develop the list derives from Essential Science Indicators, a component of InCites. For their 2025 analysis, Clarivate reviewed Highly Cited Papers from 20 broad fields in Essential Science Indicators. These fields are defined by journal groupings and in the case of multidisciplinary journals, such as Nature and Science, papers are individually assigned to a field based on cited reference analysis. Only article and review papers are considered.
