Research on Characteristics of Top Researchers and Their Evaluation in Anhui Province
Highly cited scientists are the representatives of innovative top scientific research talents, and analysing and evaluating their talent characteristics will help decision makers to be able to correctly apply these indicators to cultivate and discover cutting-edge scientific research talents. In this paper, 29 Anhui highly cited scientists selected in 2022 are selected as the research samples of top scientific research talents, and qualitative and quantitative analyses are combined to evaluate their academic influence through multi-dimensional portraits and objective analyses of the growth pattern and academic achievement characteristics of Anhui highly cited scientists. The analysis shows that higher education, funding from research funds and overseas exchange experience are the factors that effectively promote the growth of highly cited scientists, and that senior titles and honours are complementary to becoming a highly cited scientist. Meanwhile, the distribution of highly cited scientists in ESI disciplines in Anhui is uneven, and does not match with the demand for high-quality development in Anhui Province, and so on. The introduction and cultivation of top research talents in Anhui Province can be strengthened by improving the dynamic monitoring mechanism for the growth of highly cited scientists, encouraging various forms of academic exchanges and cooperation, and creating a positive and relaxed scientific research culture.
