Recently, CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) released the 2024 list of Highly Cited Chinese Researchers. According to incomplete statistics, Liaoning University (LNU) has 65 scholars included in the “2024 CNKI Highly Cited Chinese Researchers Top 1%” list.

The “2024 CNKI Highly Cited Chinese Researchers” employs the weighted total PCSI (Paper Citation Standardized Index) of an author’s published papers as its evaluation index. Papers are selected based on the condition that their PCSI must exceed the theoretical average. The weighting is influenced by the number of co-authors and the author’s position in the byline. To qualify for inclusion in the “2024 CNKI Highly Cited Chinese Researchers Top 1%”, candidates must simultaneously satisfy three criteria. Firstly, their total PCSI for publications within the last decade ranks within the top 1% of the initial candidate pool of authors (approximately 3.35 million nationwide). Secondly, they have published at least five papers in the last decade with a PCSI exceeding the theoretical average value (1.65). Thirdly, they have published at least one high-impact paper in the last decade. Scholars included in the list have research achievements that play a significant role and hold substantial reference value within the domestic and international academic community, serving as an important indicator of academic influence.
