Clarivate Unveils Citation Laureates 2025 - Highlighting Nobel-Class Research with Global Impact
22 Researchers Recognized, Including First Citation Laureate Based in Mainland China
Since the program's inception, 83 Citation Laureates have gone on to receive Nobel Prizes, often years after their initial recognition by Clarivate.
Citation Laureates' foundational research papers rank among the most highly cited in their fields, reflecting exceptional influence across disciplines and borders. This year's Laureates have advanced knowledge in fields of urgent global relevance, including:
- Physiology or Medicine: Leukemia, appetite regulation, and immune system research
- Physics: Signal processing, quantum computing, interstellar chemistry, and image compression
- Chemistry: Energy storage, green chemistry, sustainable energy, and cell engineering
- Economics: Remote work, automation, inequality, poverty, and the economic impact of culture and discrimination
The 2025 Laureates are affiliated with leading academic institutions in eight countries/regions. Ten are based in

Emmanuel Thiveaud, Senior Vice President for Research & Analytics, Academia & Government at Clarivate, said: "Each year, the Citation Laureates program highlights researchers whose work has transformed their disciplines and delivered profound societal impact. Their research is not only highly cited but deeply influential. At Clarivate, we are proud to honor these pioneers whose contributions often foreshadow
Since 2002, ISI analysts have used publication and citation data from the Web of Science Core Collection to identify potential Nobel Prize recipients. Out of 64 million articles and proceedings indexed since 1970, less than 0.02% have been cited more than 2,000 times. Citation Laureates are selected from this elite group through rigorous citation analysis and expert insight.
