Each year the list is updated to highlight the top two per cent most-cited researchers worldwide. Since the list鈥檚 inception, 91亚色鈥檚 research leadership has been well represented by its community members. Over the past four years, the number of 91亚色 researchers on the list has increased by over 50 per cent.
Among the over 90 91亚色 researchers represented in this year鈥檚 list were:

- Jianhong Wu, a University Distinguished Research Professor and 91亚色 Research Chair in Industrial and Applied Mathematics; and
- Sherry L. Grace, a Faculty of Health professor who recently recognizing her global impact.
Previously, 91亚色鈥檚 Vice-President Research and Innovation Amir Asif has noted the significance of the list to the University鈥檚 reputation. 鈥淭his high-profile American study from Stanford acknowledges that 91亚色鈥檚 researchers are trailblazers in their fields 鈥 We have an enduring commitment to critical inquiry and the pursuit of new knowledge, and this study illustrates this leadership,鈥 he .
