Dr. Rick Bagozzi, Professor of Social and Administrative Sciences at the College of Pharmacy, was listed as one of the World’s Most Influential Scientific Minds of 2014, according to Thomson Reuters.

Thomson Reuters determines some of the best and brightest scientific minds, all by analyzing citation data over the last 11 years to identify those who published the highest impact work. These individuals are influencing the future direction of their fields, and of the world.

Dr. Bagozzi’s honor is based on objective opinions of the scientific community, which is very different from one based on nominations and subjective evaluations.

The section of researchers lists individuals who published the greatest number of highly cited papers in one of the 21 broad fields, 2002-2012. Highly cited papers rank in the top 1% by citations for their field and year of publication. It is precisely this type of recognition, recognition by peers, in the form of citations, that makes their status meaningful. The identification of these individuals is rooted in the collective, objective opinions of the scientific community.

“These researchers are, undoubtedly, among the most influential scientific minds of our time," states Thomson Reuters.

Dr. Bagozzi also holds an appointment as the Dwight F Benton Professor of Behavioral Science in Management at the Stephen M. Ross School of Business.

“It is wonderful to see this level of recognition for Dr. Bagozzi’s contributions to science. His role in our department has primarily been to work with our graduate students to improve the rigor of their research, and his guidance has been very beneficial,” states Associate Dean James Stevenson.

“This honor is very well deserved; it is of great value to us to have such prominent faculty at the College,” ends Dean Frank Ascione.

Congratulations to Dr. Bagozzi on this wonderful accomplishment!
