Several professors and researchers at the University of Houston are among the most cited in the world, according to an October 2020 update by researchers from Stanford about paper citations.
“A standardized citation metrics author database annotated for scientific field” was first published by John P.A. Ioannidis, Jereon Baas, Richard Klavans and Kevin W. Boyack in PLOS Biology in August 2019. In the 2020 update, there are 132 researchers or professors affiliated with the University of Houston.
Of this group, 85 are associated with engineering, science or math-related fields. The authors grouped professors roughly together by fields that do not contour one-to-one with the departments at UH, but instead, to 22 scientific fields and 176 subfields.
According to the paper's authors, they identified paper authors that were either among the top 100,000 overall in a composite index they developed, or, among the top 2 percent of their main subfield discipline. The professors and researchers from UH, in alpabetical order, are:
