K-STATE'S WHEAT GENETICS EXPERT HEAVILY RELIED UPON BY SCIENTIFIC PEERS
Bikram Gill, university distinguished professor of plant pathology and director of Kansas State University's Wheat Genetic and Genomic Resources Center, recently learned that his colleagues around the world rely on his work -- literally.
Gill is listed on ISIHighlyCited.com as one of the world's most influential researchers in the site's plant and animal science category. In the data set used, his work was cited 2,177 times from 1984-2003, which surpassed the requisite 1,850, officials with ISIHighlyCited.com said. That put Gill among elite company – in the top half a percent of all publishing authors.
Thomson Scientific's http://www.ISIHighlyCited.com is a free, publicly available Web site intended to highlight the world's most cited authors from the last two decades and to create a network of highly cited researchers across diverse disciplines. Gill's bibliography on the site lists 416 publications, from 1973-2008.
