The list ranks two percent of the world’s most prominent researchers. Among almost 160,000 researchers, whose publications have accelerated progress in their respective fields, there are ten representatives from Karlstad University. Bo Edvardsson ended up on an impressive 32nd place in the category marketing.
The list from Stanford University includes updated analyses and a publicly available database with standardised information on, for example, citations, which provides a basis for measuring the effects of a published journal.
- I was surprised and excited when I got the news, says Bo Edvardsson, professor of business administration at CTF, Service Research Centre, and Karlstad Business School. It has given me a boost to continue the work that I’m doing.
Bo Edvardsson wants to emphasise that his research and publications are the result of working together with highly competent and committed colleagues at CTF and Karlstad Business School. The culture that has formed between them has created a good foundation for successful collaboration with researchers internationally.
- It is stimulating to have many research friends and I hope that the work culture of CTF and Karlstad Business School continues to develop.
Per Kristensson, professor and director of CTF, is very pleased to see staff from CTF and Karlstad Business School ranking so high on an international list.
- Bo’s ranking is very impressive and a result of both excellent research and long-term international networking. In order for us to be a research centre with high status, our researchers must claim a place in the international arena.
