How do you determine a researcher’s impact? Measures of impact can be hard to quantify, but Stanford University has annually undertaken a method of doing so based on citations. This year, no fewer than 43 current or retired Baylor faculty appeared on this list.
Citations occur when, after a faculty member publishes his or her own researchers, other researchers around the world see that work as meaningful and cite it in their own work. Not surprisingly, Baylor researchers fare well by this standard. Stanford’s database has become a desirable destination for faculty, as it represents the top 2% of the most cited researchers in 22 disciplines — the best of the best.
