Thomson Reuters, the most prestigious source to evaluate the impact of scientific publications, researchers and institutions, has included Mário Figueiredo and José Bioucas Dias in its 2015 Highly Cited Researchers list. Only five Portuguese researchers had this distinction in 2015, so it is a privilege for IT to host two of them. Mário Figueiredo received the same distinction in 2014, with only one other Portuguese researcher.
According to Thomson Reuters, “Highly Cited Researchers 2015 represents some of world’s most influential scientific minds. About three thousand
researchers earned this distinction by writing the greatest number of reports officially designated by Essential Science Indicators as Highly Cited Papers — ranking among the top 1% most cited for their subject
field and year of publication, earning them the mark of exceptional impact.”
