5.4 Highly cited publications

For the period 2006-2010, Figures 5.4.1 and 5.4.2* point to the number of highly cited publications for percentile levels 1%, 5%, 10%, 25% and 50%, i.e. the publications that belong respectively to the top 1%, 5%, 10%, 25% and 50% of the most cited publications in the world.

Publications produced by the TEIs of Athens, Western Macedonia, Epirus, Kavala, Crete, Patras and Chalkida were found to be among the 1% most highly cited publications worldwide.

In addition, Figures 5.4.1 and 5.4.2 display the percentage of the highly cited publications in each TEI for percentile levels 1%, 5%, 10%, 25% and 50%. Data refers to the last 5-year period 2006-2010. Values above the percentile levels indicate performance levels higher than the world average.

The TEI of Patras achieved scores that were above world average for percentile levels 1%, 5%, 10% and 25%, the TEI of Western Macedonia for percentile levels 5%, 10% and 25%, the TEI of Crete for percentile levels 5% and 10%, the TEI of Epirus for 1% and the TEI of Serres for 5%. It should be noted, however, that in most cases we refer to a small amount of publications.
