Our professors among the world's most influential researchers
October 25, 2023
Over 20 HEC Montréal community members appear in an international ranking that considers the influence of scientists in all fields of research. The ranking has been compiled by a research team from Stanford University and Dutch publisher Elsevier.
It is divided into 2 lists: One takes into account the citations and impact indexes for the year 2022 and the other, for the last 25 years. Current faculty members of HEC Montréal who appear in at least one of the lists this year are:
- Jean-François Cordeau
- David Doloreux
- Pierre Hansen
- Isabelle Le Breton-Miller
- Pierre-Majorique Léger
- Danny Miller
- Carolina Osorio
- Guy Paré
- Suzanne Rivard
- Linda Rouleau
- Sylvain Sénécal
- Jian Tang
- Michel Tremblay
- Stephan Vachon
- Christian Vandenberghe
- Gregory Vial
- Georges Zaccour
This selective ranking also includes Jean-Charles Chebat, an HEC Montréal professor for many years who died in 2019, Affiliated Professor Alain Haurie, as well as currently retired faculty members, Henri Barki, Alain D’Astous, Ann Langley and Gilbert Laporte. It should be noted that Professor Laporte and Tenured Researcher Danny Miller are ranked in the top 10 worldwide in their respective fields (operations research and management).
Ranking methodology
The ranking is based on a dataset of over 8 million authors worldwide, in 22 scientific fields and 174 sub-fields, and from both the academic and private sectors. Given that the ranking consists of just over 200,000 researchers, their inclusion in this select group means that our professors are among the most influential 2% in their respective research fields.
