For the second year in a row, Ian Scoones Professorial Fellow at the Institute of Development Studies has been included in the annual Highly Cited Researchers List that recognises the global influence of academics within their field. Ian Scoones is co-director of the ESRC STEPS Centre at Sussex and principal investigator of the ERC Advanced Grant project, PASTRES (Pastoralism, Uncertainty and Resilience: Lessons From the Margins).
The Highly Cited Researchers list is compiled by Clarivate Analytics and includes researchers who receive significant interest in their chosen field by publishing multiple, highly cited papers in the last decade. These have appeared in publications that rank in the top 1% by citations for a publication field and year.
Commenting on this recognition, Ian Scoones said: ‘I am pleased that the collaborative efforts of my colleagues in Zimbabwe and at the ESRC STEPS Centre at Sussex has been recognised as having global influence. Against a backdrop of accelerating climate change and inequality, our research into agrarian change and environmental sustainability has never been more important. This is why it means so much to be included in a global list of influence that demonstrates our contribution to global understanding.’
Ian Scoones is recognised in the Highly Cited Researchers List alongside eight researchers from the University of Sussex. These include Paula Kivimaa and Karoline Rogge, both from the Science Policy Research Unit at the University of Sussex Business School; Dave Goulson from the School of Life Sciences; Anil Seth, co-director of the Sackler Centre for Consciousness; and Constantin Blome, Adrian Smith, Steven Sorrell and Benjamin Sovacool from the University of Sussex Business School.
