Highly Cited Researchers is an annual list that recognizes leading researchers from around the world based on an analysis of their research publications. The 2016 list recognizes the most-cited authors of research publications in the period 2004 through 2014.
Fellows Jun Ye and Deborah Jin (1968–2016) have been named Highly Cited Researchers for 2016 by Thomson Reuters. Ye and Jin are two of 110 people in the physics category in this year's list. This is a particularly poignant accolade for JILA, as Deborah Jin passed away on September 15, 2016.
