According to Clarivate, "Each year, Clarivate™ identifies the world’s most influential researchers ─ the select few who have been most frequently cited by their peers over the last decade. In 2022, fewer than 7,000, or about 0.1%, of the world's researchers, in 21 research fields and across multiple fields, have earned this exclusive distinction. [Dr. Zhang] is among this elite group recognized for [his] exceptional research influence, demonstrated by the production of multiple highly-cited papers that rank in the top 1% by citations for field and year in the Web of Science™….Of the world’s population of scientists and social scientists, Highly Cited Researchers™ are 1 in 1,000."
