Each highly cited paper was defined as within the top 1% in its field and year of publication. Publications were verified, and individuals were ranked based on number of highly cited papers in this time period.

In Google Scholar Citations, Folke’s citations exceed 100 000. His work is highly influential across disciplines, but particularly in resilience, environmental, and social sciences.
