**LONDON, Sept. 19, 2024** – Clarivate Plc, a leading global provider of intelligence, has unveiled its annual Citation Laureates™ list, recognizing 22 exceptional scientists and economists whose groundbreaking work is considered of Nobel stature.

This year’s laureates have made significant contributions to advancements in crucial fields like clean energy, nanotechnology, and 3D protein structures. Their research has also tackled societal issues, such as the economic impact of corruption and the development of new drugs for heart disease.

The researchers represent leading institutions worldwide, with 11 based in the United States, 6 in the United Kingdom, 2 in Switzerland, and one each in Germany, Israel, and Japan.

“Being named a Citation Laureate is a recognition of the impact our work has had,” said John M. Jumper, Director at Google DeepMind and a Citation Laureate 2024. “This award recognizes that we are the shoulders on which other researchers are standing to see further.”

Demis Hassabis, CEO and Co-Founder at Google DeepMind, also a Citation Laureate, echoed Jumper’s sentiment, highlighting the potential of AI to advance science and improve lives. “AlphaFold has been used by over 2 million researchers to advance critical work, from enzyme design to drug discovery,” Hassabis stated.

The Citation Laureates are chosen based on their extensive citation records, a measure of their work’s influence and impact on the scientific community. Since 2002, Clarivate’s Institute for Scientific Information has identified 75 Citation Laureates, many of whom subsequently received Nobel Prizes.

The list is seen as a strong indicator of potential Nobel Prize winners, and the 2024 announcement comes just weeks before the Nobel Prize announcements begin on October 7th.
