A report by the name of ‘Highly Cited Researchers’ was recently compiled by Clarivate Analytics. It highlights researchers having significant influence in their chosen area of study through the publication of cited research papers in the last decade.
The Clarivate report shortlists researchers working on some of the world’s most significant challenges. This year’s list includes 26 Nobel laureates and recognizes 6,400 researchers across 21 fields.
Of the world’s population of scientists and social scientists, Highly Cited Researchers represent 1 in 1,000. Among those researchers, A Pakistani computer scientist has also made it to the list. His name is Dr. Mubashir Husain Rehmani.

Apart from professional scientists, young Pakistani students have also made the country proud at a global level.
In 2015, an O-Level student from Pakistan, Shah Mir Aizaz, managed to secure second place in a NASA design contest. It is important to note that the youngster stood second out of the 994 submissions from 3,007 students from 21 nations. He won a prize for his design titled ‘Beyond Infinity – Eros Outer Atmosphere Settlement’.
This contest was sponsored by the NASA Ames Research Center and the National Space Society NSS.
