Two Trinity College Dublin scientists have been selected to join 3,000 authors from around the world in Thompson Reuters’ new compilation of influential names in science. Prof Luke O’Neill, Professor of Biochemistry, School of Biochemistry and Immunology in the Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute (TBSI) and Prof Jonathan Coleman, Professor of Chemical Physics in the School of Physics will appear in the Thompson Reuters Highly Cited Researchers website and 2014 World’s Most Influential Scientific Minds report.

Professors O’Neill and Coleman join 10 other Irish scientists on the list of authors who rank among the top 1% most cited for their subject field and year of publication between 2002 and 2012.

Prof O’Neill has been included among other notable scientists in the field of immunology and Prof Coleman has been included for his work in material science. According to Thompson Reuters the selected authors’ published work in their specialty areas “has consistently been judged by peers to be of particular significance and utility”.

Speaking about his inclusion in this collection of scientific researchers who have produced work that is most frequently acknowledged by peers, Prof O’Neill said: “I am absolutely delighted to make this list. It’s a huge testament to the work of my research team in Trinity over the past decade.”

Prof Coleman said: “I am delighted to be included with such distinguished scientists although most of the credit must go to the students and postdocs who did the actual work. I would also like to highlight the support I have received from both Trinity College and Science Foundation Ireland. Without them, this would have been impossible.”

All the selected researchers were chosen by writing the greatest numbers of reports officially designated by Essential Science Indicators as ‘highly cited papers’.
