Clarivate Citation Laureates, previously known as Thomson Reuters Citation Laureates, is a compilation recognizing researchers who are strong contenders for the Nobel Prize based on the citation frequency of their scholarly publications. This roster, released annually prior to the Nobel Prize announcements, includes nominees from the fields of medicine, chemistry, physics, and economics. In October 2016, the Intellectual Property and Science division of Thomson Reuters was purchased by Onex and Baring Asia and subsequently renamed Clarivate.
Initiated in 1989, this list showcases scholars with extraordinarily high citation counts—usually ranking among the top 0.1% of influential papers—demonstrating their pivotal roles in advancing scientific knowledge. The citation-driven selection process closely mirrors the Nobel Prize recipients; since its inception, at least one Citation Laureate has been awarded a Nobel Prize every year except for 1993 and 1996. From 2002 through 2017, 43 out of 300 Citation Laureates achieved Nobel recognition. By October 2022, a total of 71 out of 396 designated researchers had become Nobel laureates.
Clarivate’s evaluation criteria emphasize individuals who have been widely cited over a period spanning two or more decades and who continuously publish numerous impactful works, indicating enduring prominence and leadership within their respective scientific areas.
