Clarivate Analytics has been recognising outstanding researchers who have demonstrated significant and far-reaching influence in their fields through its annual Highly Cited Researchers list. This compilation highlights global researchers who have exhibited remarkable influence, as evidenced by publications ranked in the top 1 per cent by citations for their respective fields and publication year in the Web of Science over the past decade. Of the world’s population of scientists, Highly Cited Researchers are 1 in 1,000. In 2024, there were only three researchers from China, Japan and Singapore who were acknowledged as Highly Cited Researchers in the field of Psychiatry and Psychology in Asia. This symposium provides a platform for three Highly Cited Researchers in the field of Psychiatry and Psychology and one Highly Cited Researcher in the field of Neuroscience to share their impactful research findings. Their contributions span diverse methods and focus, reflecting a relentless pursuit of excellence and groundbreaking discoveries. Professor Toshiaki Furukawa from Kyoto will share his clinical research findings from systematic reviews, randomized clinical trials, and ultimately, technology such as smartphone apps. Professor Brian Hall from Shanghai will share his research findings from digital mental health innovations, research on the mental health of migrants, and cultural factors in mental health. Professor Roger Ho from Singapore will share his research on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health in the general population and psychiatric patients, from a psycho-neuro-immunological perspective. Dr Cyrus Ho from Singapore will share his research in neuroscience, focusing on the application of functional near-infrared spectroscopy and artificial intelligence to establish precision psychiatry. This symposium will inspire psychiatry residents and young researchers who are looking for role models who continue to push the frontiers of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience in the Pacific Rim.
