Laureates
Discover every Citation Laureate named since 2002 — individuals whose Nobel-class work has shaped disciplines and inspired global progress.
The Hall of Citation Laureates is a searchable archive of every researcher recognized by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) since 2002. Selected through rigorous analysis of Web of Science citation data, Citation Laureates are scientists and economists whose discoveries show exceptional influence and are considered Nobel class. Since the program began, 89 Citation Laureates have later received a Nobel Prize, underscoring its long-standing record of identifying influential researchers whose work advances knowledge and benefits society.
Use the search and filtering tools below to explore Citation Laureates by year, discipline, country, institution, or Nobel Prize recipient status. To learn more, explore the latest Citation Laureates, read about the Citation Laureates methodology, discover Nobel Prize winners who were previously named Citation Laureates, or browse Laureates by category in Physiology or Medicine, Physics, Chemistry, and Economics.
