Nine University of Waterloo professors, including Distinguished Professor Emeritus Bernard Glick from the Department of Biology, are in the top one percent of citations for their field of study and publication based on Clarivate Analytics’ 2021 Highly Cited Researchers list

Published annually, this list is comprised of scientists and social scientists in 21 fields that rank in the top one per cent by citations for field of study and publication year. The list identifies scientists and social scientists who have demonstrated significant influence through publication of multiple highly cited papers during the last decade.

With over 52,000 citations, an h-index of 101 and nearly 400 publications, Professor Glick has one of the highest citation records at the University of Waterloo.

Bernard Glick's research considers plant-microbial interactions. His findings include discovering how certain bacteria can help plants grow, even under stressful conditions, such as drought. He's shown that growth-promoting bacteria can be successfully applied to several food crops as a more sustainable alternative to using chemicals.

Out of 200 researchers listed in Canada, nine are from Waterloo. The other eight Waterloo researchers who made the exclusive list, including two from the Faculty of Science are: Zhongwei Chan (Chemical Engineering), Geoffrey Fong (Psychology), David Hammond and Sharon Kirkpatrick (School of Public Health Sciences), Linda Nazar (Chemistry), Will Percival (Physics and Astronomy), Daniel Scott (Geography and Environmental Management) and Xuemin Shen (Electrical and Computer Engineering).

Congratulations to Professor Glick and all other researchers!
