Stanford University recently compiled a database of the most cited researchers<\/a> in higher ed history — specifically, those who ranked among the top 2% all-time. It’s an incredible undertaking — and one that found 36 Baylor professors among the honorees.<\/p>\n If you ever studied under or worked with a Baylor research professor, you likely know that it\u2019s important to get published in a peer-reviewed, scholarly journal. It’s a key step in getting these professors’ efforts out for others to share and benefit from — taking researchers’ work from the lab or the office to the world at large.<\/p>\n Once research is in a journal, the next step in extending that work is when other scholars cite your work — meaning they see your work as influential, important to understanding their own, or serving as a foundation on which to build further study. To have 36 current or retired Baylor faculty members appear among the top 2% most-cited — 30 of them still active at BU — is incredible, particularly considering Baylor’s relatively recent emphasis on research.<\/p>\n Here’s a list of those 36 Bears recognized among the world’s most cited researchers:<\/p>\n Numerous other Baylor professors have had major impact on their colleagues through published works, and this elite list gives just a sample of that work. But it demonstrates clearly that when Baylor professors show their work, they\u2019re creating new knowledge that has a ripple effect through higher education and beyond.<\/p>\n Sic \u2019em, Baylor researchers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Stanford University recently compiled a database of the most cited researchers in higher ed history — specifically, those who ranked among the top 2% all-time.
