AAE Professor Chin-Teh Sun named to ISI's list of "Highly Cited Researchers"

Event Date:	July 12, 2007

The Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) named Professor Chin-Teh Sun to its list of "Highly Cited Researchers" for his work in the Materials Science category.

The citing of scientific papers is an important benchmark used to determine the progress and the state of scientific research. Inclusion in ISI's list is a distinct honor signifying the influence of the cited researcher's work. As noted by ISI, “Citation is a key measure of influence in science and technology, because it is a highly informed decision.” Namely, it is a decision formed by independent input from peers. Researchers on the list are considered to have formed or changed the course of research on a subject. Professor Sun is one of only fifteen Purdue professors to be so honored.
