We are delighted to announce Linda D. Hollebeek, a Principal Research Fellow, who has joined the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration at Vilnius University just this year, has been identified by Clarivate as the world’s most influential researcher ─ the select few who have been most frequently cited by their peers over the last decade.

Linda D. Hollebeek has been presented the Highly Cited Researcher 2021 award. In 2021, fewer than 6,700, or about 0.1%, of the world's researchers, in 21 research fields and across multiple fields, have earned this exclusive distinction. Linda D. Hollebeek ranked #1641 of all scientists, across all disciplines (2020-2021) and an incredible #8 in the subfield of Marketing (2020-2021).

This is an extraordinary achievement not only for the faculty, but for the whole Vilnius University. Linda D. Hollebeek is the first member of Vilnius University in Social Sciences to join this elite group recognized for their exceptional research influence, demonstrated by the production of multiple highly-cited papers that rank in the top 1% by citations for field and year in the Web of Science.

Congratulations to Linda!
