This data is contained in a study carried out by Google Scholar, which shows the 112,000 most searched researchers on Google Scholar. The list of the most influential researchers is based on the 'h-index' from most to least and the citations of their studies.
This indicator is used to determine the professional quality of scientific work. It is based on the relevance of the publication and takes into account the researchers’ most cited studies and the number of times each study has been cited. Therefore, the higher the number of citations, the higher the ranking of the researcher.
These data were collected in the last week of November and Juan Manuel Corchado takes the 163rd position nationally and comes second in the ranking of the most influential researchers in Castilla y León. Juan Manuel Corchado, who has a PhD in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence from the University of the West of Scotland, has a total of 20,955 citations since 2017, according to Google Scholar.
