A third of the core faculty in MSU's Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior (EEB) Program have been ranked among the top 2% of the world’s most highly cited scientists, according to a database created by Stanford University researchers.
Twenty-two EEB scientists have been ranked as the most influential people of science in the world. The top 2% list contains the names of scientists from around the world whose publications are most often cited by other authors.
