Faculty from the USF College of Marine Science are featured in a recent report by Elsevier and Stanford University that ranks high-impact researchers from around the world.
The study uses citation metrics to determine a percentile rank of the top two percent of researchers across 22 fields of study, based on the standard Science-Metrix classification.
“We are well aware that our faculty at the USF College of Marine Science include many world-class researchers,” said Tom Frazer, professor and dean of CMS. “Still, seeing reports like this one reinforces the fact that our college is one of the top marine science research institutions not only in the country, but also across the globe.”
