most highly-cited authors within the Consortium of Mexican Universities
(CUMex)."
The award recognizes excellence in research and successful international
collaboration. Analysis of the research candidates across the 25 universities
was done using Thomson Reuters Web of Science. The seven highly cited
researchers were identified after analyzing their papers that were indexed over
20 years in the categories of "Science" and "Social Sciences/Arts & Humanities"
and who have the largest number of citations to their paper, locally and
internationally.
President of the Consortium of Mexican Universities Mario Ochoa described the
event saying, "The awards given to our researchers are very important in
continuing to stimulate scientific research, as well as giving the Instituciones
de Estudios Superiores (IES) the opportunity to ratify its research strategies
and assume a greater commitment to new challenges in the academic environment."
