556 Highly Cited Researchers (h>100) according to Google Scholar Citations

This is the second edition (with data collected during the second week of October 2014) of a BETA list of the public profiles of the most highly cited researchers (h-index larger than 100) according to their declared presence in the Google Scholar Citations database.

The list, that includes both living and deceased authors, is ranked first by h-index in decreasing order and when ties appear, then by the total number of citations as a secondary criteria.

his ranking is far of being complete, as many scientists have no developed a GSC public profile yet, that it is a very easy and free task and with a surprisingly large coverage of both contributions and citations.
