Five academics from the University of Liverpool have been named in a prestigious annual list of ‘highly cited’ researchers.
The Highly Cited Researchers 2025 list from Clarivate, recognises 6,868 researchers from more than 1300 institutions in 60 countries who have demonstrated significant and broad influence in their field(s) of research over the past eleven years.
Each researcher selected has authored multiple Highly Cited Papers which rank in the top 1% by citations for their field(s) and publication year in the Web of Science Core Collection – the world’s most trusted publisher-independent global citation database. This year the Mathematics category was re-introduced to the analysis after it was removed in in 2023-4.
The Liverpool researchers featured on this year’s list are:
- Professor Tsan-Ming (Jason) Choi, Chair in Operations and Supply Chain Management and Director of the Centre for Supply Chain Research in the Management School
- Professor Andy Cooper, Academic Director of the Materials Innovation Factory and Director of Leverhulme Research Centre for Functional Materials Design

David Pendlebury, Head of Research Analysis at the Institute for Scientific Information at Clarivate said:
“As the need for high-quality data from rigorously selected sources is becoming ever more important, we have adapted and responded to technological advances and shifts in the publishing landscape. Just as we have applied stringent standards and transparent selection criteria to identify trusted journals in the Web of Science, we continue to refine our evaluation and selection policies for our annual Highly Cited Researchers program to address the challenges of an increasingly complex and polluted scholarly record.”
