More than 100 current and former researchers from the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC), including Dr. Kevin Garvin, have been ranked among the top 2% of researchers worldwide in their respective fields.
This recognition comes from a Stanford University study that evaluates researchers using standardized citation metrics to measure their global impact.
Citations in academic papers reflect the influence of a researcher’s work, serving as a strong indicator of their reputation. The Stanford team analyzed over 6 million scientists globally, using a composite citation score (c-score) based on multiple citation metrics, to identify the most impactful researchers.
UNMC Interim Chancellor H. Dele Davies, MD, expressed pride in this achievement, saying, “Research is an integral part of UNMC’s mission to create healthier futures for people in Nebraska and beyond. We are excited to see so many of our investigators recognized for their influence.”
Vice Chancellor for Research Ken Bayles, PhD, highlighted the significance of this recognition: “These rankings are a testament to the productivity of our talented faculty and the impact their work has on the global research community.”
This achievement underscores UNMC’s dedication to advancing research that shapes the future of healthcare.
