Research success can be measured by various research metrics, most notably citations, publications and H-index. Using these measures from Web of Science, I have just had help to compile the top 100 most cited people in psychiatry (and psychology). One question I have been asked is how much work is required to make it into the top 100 list?
Looking crudely at the number of peer reviewed publications, the ave number for a person in the top100 is 456!
A more sophisticated analysis would be by the H-index. So, to break into the top 100 you would need a H-index of about 60+; thats 60 papers each attracting at least 60 cites. To break into the top 10 you need a H-index of around 100. Thats 100 papers with 100 cites each. I perhaps have one. Thats 99 more to go then?!
The provisional list of the Top100 most highly cited scientists working in psychiatry is here:
