Impact of HESI Publications

HESI’s scientific programs provide an opportunity for academic, government, and industry scientists to interact on a peer-to-peer basis to address both emerging and long-standing challenges in safety evaluation. HESI conducts a formal citations analysis every 3-5 years, with the most recent citations analysis having been conducted in 2018. The ongoing research, discussions, critiques, and sharing of best practices within HESI are valuable contributions to the practice of science, as evidenced by the examples below.

Global Impact through Peer-Reviewed Science

Over 400 publications from HESI scientific programs have been published throughout the last 30 years, with more than 200 publications in peer-reviewed literature in the last decade.

HESI publications have been cited over 28,000 times in more than 3,600 different scientific journals by scientists from over 1,600 organizations (academic, government, industry, foundations, hospitals, etc.) in 75 different countries.
