Clarivate has been identifying and rewarding the most influential researchers and institutes of India since 2004. The awards are based on in-depth analysis of data compiled from the Web of Science™ citation index and InCites™ — a research performance benchmarking and analytics tool.
Highly cited research publications that imply high impact research was an important criterion for the analysis, in addition to a series of other bibliometric indicators and a qualitative review of the research output. The analysis was based on the publication output during the period 2015-2020.
