Highly Cited Papers 10% (HCP10%) 2019-2023

Highly Cited Papers 10% (HCP10%) 2019-2023

(*)CROWN and HCP10% indicators take into account articles and reviews from 2018 to 2022, and are calculated using Clarivate's ESI (Essential Science indicators) baseline citation rates and baseline percentiles from its 10/03/2023 update.
CROWN indicator shows the relative number of citations to publications, compared to the global average of citations to publications of the same type, year of publication and thematic area, being 1 the baseline or world average.
HCP10% (Highly Cited Papers 10%) shows the publications included in 10% of the world's most cited publications of the same type, year of publication and subject area, being 10% the expected value (higher is better).
Citations to calculate the CROWN and HCP10% indicators were downloaded from Clarivate WoS (Web of Science) Core Collection on 10/03/2023. Citation count is not fractional.
