In their publications, scientists cite the most important articles that have appeared so far on the respective topic. The frequency of citations is therefore a good indicator of the quality and worldwide recognition of a research paper and its authors. The "Highly Cited Researchers" are determined once a year using the "Web of Science" database, in which the US company Clarivate Analytics records scientific publications from a broad range of subjects.

The current edition of the ranking shows the scientists who were cited most frequently in their respective subject areas from 2009 to 2019. Researchers who have been cited frequently in different fields are listed in the "Cross-Field" category. In total, the list includes around 6,400 people in no particular order. The researchers of the TUM School of Life Sciences are:

Agricultural Sciences:

Environment and Ecology:

Cross-Field:
