"Ian Foster Earns Top Marks as Influential Computer Scientist"
Ian Foster of the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory has been recognized as one of the top three most influential computer scientists worldwide, according to a new formula that measures the impact of a scientist's work.
According to the h-index, a method for ranking scientists based on the number of papers they publish and citations they receive, Foster ranks third with a score of 67. Featured in the August 16 issue of Nature, the h-index indicates the number of papers a particular author publishes that receive at least that same number of citations; thus, Foster's score of 67 means that he has published 67 papers that have received at least 67 citations apiece. The world's leading computer scientist, by this scale, has a score of 70. | read more>
