This annual list recognizes researchers whose contributions have demonstrated broad and significant influence in their fields.

Analysts from the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) at Clarivate recognized 6,868 individuals with 7,131 awards* from more than 1,300 institutions in 60 countries and regions. The rigorous evaluation and selection process draws on data from the Web of Science Core Collection, and uses quantitative metrics and qualitative analysis to identify individuals whose work has had a genuine, global influence on their fields.

The list offers valuable insights into the global landscape of top research talent and identifies trends across countries, regions and institutions. The United States is the world leader, while Mainland China and the United Kingdom maintain their respective second and third positions on the list.

To be fair, one would have to divide the number of highly cited scholars at each institution by the total number of faculty. Some of these schools are punching way above their weight as far as size of the faculty.

Dunno, where is UVA? Or W&M?

May I suggest you google before posting? The top R1s are enormous with huge graduate programs - that’s what produces top
flight research : Harvard, Stanford,Berkeley (44,000 students), UCLA (42,000 students). UVA is comparatively small (16,000) and W&M is tiny. In my humble experience, Harvard undergrads suffer for this. W&M grads don’t. You pick a school for the best teaching experience for them, not rank for research that they will never even know about.

Can YOU google? Harvard has 24000 total students , UVA has 26000. Stanford has 17,500k
Number of research faculty total including the medical schools is similar at the schools. Faculty is more relevant to the post.
