On May 7th, 2020, publication group Elsevier officially announced its annual “Most Cited Chinese Researchers” list of 2019.

Professor Liu Jing, Professor Teng Bingsheng, and Professor Cao Huining have been named on Elsevier’s “Most Cited Chinese Researchers” list now for six consecutive years, whilst it is the first time Professor Zhang Xiaomeng has been named on the list.
The “Most Cited Chinese Researchers” list aims to scientifically analyze and evaluate the global influence of Chinese researchers, and commend exceptional scholars promoting academic advances. In 2019, a total of 2,163 Chinese scholars from 242 colleges, universities and research institutions were named by Elsevier.
The “Most Cited Chinese Researchers” list is based on the Scopus database—a world-leading database of peer-reviewed abstracts and citations. The database includes over 24,000 journals from more than 5,000 publishers, 9.8 million papers presented and published at academic conferences, 220,000 books and over 44 million patent information documents from five major patent institutes globally, encompassing a range of academic fields such as natural science, technology, engineering, medicine, social science, art and humanities, dating back to 1823.
Papers created by scholars in various fields, are available to be cited by other scholars, once they are included. A paper’s citation frequency is one of the most important indexes that is used to evaluate the author’s contribution and influence in the corresponding academic field.
