"Nine Aussie researchers are the planet’s best"

Today I was named by The Australian newspaper as one of the world’s leading researchers. The news article was titled "Nine Aussie researchers are the planet’s best" and stated "...world leaders include ... Charles Sturt University's Sharynne McLeod in Audiology, Speech & Language Pathology". 

"Data assembled for The Australian's 2023 Research magazine show that papers by each of the nine researchers (in the past five years) which were published in the top journals in their respective fields have attracted more citations than any other researchers in that field globally" The Australian - Tim Dodd - Wednesday 25th January 2023 - page 21
