Clarivate and the Chinese Academy of Sciences Release Annual Collaborative Report to Identify 125 Research Fronts

Published

on

Revealing highly active specialties in sciences and social sciences

LONDON, Nov. 27, 2024 /CNW/ — Clarivate Plc (NYSE: CLVT), a leading global provider of transformative intelligence, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) today released 2024 Research Fronts™, identifying the most dynamic and rapidly growing specialties in sciences and social sciences. This marks the eleventh annual collaboration between the two organizations, with the report launched at a ceremony held in Beijing today.

The report identifies 125 Research Fronts, comprising 110 ‘hot’ Fronts and 15 ’emerging’ Fronts. A hot Research Front represents an active area of study, while an emerging Research Front indicates a rapidly developing field in scientific research. The ability to identify these specialty areas of research provides a distinct advantage for those who seek to monitor, support and advance research, often in the face of finite resources. This includes governments, policymakers, publishers, research administrators and companies.

Bar Veinstein, President, Academia & Government, Clarivate, said: “The annual Research Fronts report guides us to look to the future of research by identifying the hottest and emerging specialty areas. At Clarivate, our mission is to advance the success of researchers and organizations through transformative intelligence and trusted partnership. Research Fronts provides valuable insights for leading research organizations, such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences by enabling them to identify the areas for development.”

This year’s Research Fronts address a diverse range of societal challenges. For example, in clinical medicine, a Research Front focuses on the use of monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of early Alzheimer’s disease. This research aims to accelerate the global effort to eliminate the disease. In the field of economics, psychology and other social sciences, another emerging front highlights the application and impact of Generative AI in education, which has already made a significant difference.

Wu Zhaohui, Vice President of CAS said: “CAS has consistently prioritized in-depth strategic research to prepare for future development. Since 2014, CAS has collaborated with Clarivate to release the Research Fronts report series. This report highlights the frontiers of global science and technology, analyzes significant scientific breakthroughs that could impact the future of the world and aligns with China’s national strategy for scientific and technological innovation. Furthermore, the report strongly supports research in key frontier fields, addresses major scientific issues, and contributes to the establishment of the international science and technology innovation centers in China.”

Research Fronts are defined by examining patterns of co-citation among scientific papers, reflecting a specific commonality in their research – sometimes experimental data, or a method, a concept or hypothesis. Expert analysts at Clarivate used the Essential Science Indicators (ESI)™ database which is built on the foundation of the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE)™ and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI)™, to conduct co-citation analysis. They track clusters of frequently co-cited papers over a five-year period. Once such a group of highly cited papers attains a certain level of activity and coherence, it is classified as a Research Front.

In conjunction with the Research Fronts 2024 report, Clarivate and CAS also published 2024 Research Fronts: Active Fields, Leading Countries/Regions – a comparative analysis of regional performance across the 125 Research Fronts. The report reveals that the United States continues to lead research activities in 11 areas of sciences and social sciences, with Mainland China ranking second. The United Kingdom, Germany and France round out the top five countries in terms of performance in Research Fronts 2024.

Racquel Oden to Receive The ELC’s 2026 Achievement Award for Leadership in Financial Services and Expanding Opportunity

Published

HSBC executive recognized for a career building businesses, developing talent, and widening access to wealth and financial prosperity

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Executive Leadership Council (ELC) will honor Racquel Oden, HSBC’s U.S. Head of International Wealth and Premier Banking and Private Banking, with the 2026 ELC Achievement Award at The ELC Recognition Gala on October 30, 2026, at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland.

With more than 25 years of financial services experience, Oden has built a career at the intersection of business growth, client leadership, and talent development. At HSBC, she leads businesses serving affluent and globally connected clients in the United States, bringing a client-first approach to one of the world’s largest financial services organizations.

“Racquel brings a rare combination of commercial discipline and genuine investment in people,” said Michael C. Hyter, President and CEO of The Executive Leadership Council. “She understands that leadership is measured in business results, certainly, but also in the people you prepare for greater responsibility and the doors you make easier for others to open. Her career reflects the kind of enterprise leadership The ELC has championed for 40 years.”

Oden’s career spans some of the world’s most prominent financial institutions. Prior to HSBC, she served as a Managing Director at JPMorgan Chase, where she led Network Expansion and held leadership roles across national sales, Consumer Banking and Wealth Management. She previously spent eight years at Merrill Lynch in several Managing Director roles and more than a decade at UBS in senior leadership positions. She began her Wall Street career in equity trading at Morgan Stanley.

Throughout that journey, Oden has described her leadership philosophy as one rooted in service and in helping people become the strongest versions of themselves. That philosophy also informs her work to expand access to wealth, opportunity, and financial fluency.

Her leadership extends across corporate and civic institutions. Oden serves on the corporate board of National Life Group and chairs the Board of Directors of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund. She also serves on the boards of the Apollo Theater and the New York City Police Foundation.

Her honors include the National Urban League’s 2026 Women of Power award and recognition among Barron’s Most Influential Women in Finance, American Banker’s Most Powerful Women in Finance and Forbes’ 50 Over 50.

Oden holds a Bachelor of Arts from James Madison University and an MBA from Hampton University.

The ELC Achievement Award recognizes corporate executives whose careers reflect exceptional professional accomplishment, leadership and impact. Oden joins a distinguished group of past ELC honorees whose influence has reached across companies, industries and communities.

The ELC Marks 40 Years of Developing Leaders
Oden will receive the Achievement Award during a milestone year for The Executive Leadership Council. Founded in 1986, The ELC is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2026, marking four decades of developing leaders who perform at the highest levels of business and strengthening the leadership pipeline that sustains that excellence.

The 2026 ELC Recognition Gala will take place Friday, October 30, at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland. Hosted by Emmy Award-winning television journalist and Entertainment Tonight co-host Kevin Frazier, the black-tie celebration will feature a special musical performance by 10-time GRAMMY Award winner Chaka Khan.

The Gala is the signature fundraising event of The ELC’s 2026 Gala Week, October 28–31, which will bring together more than 3,000 members, students, senior executives and business leaders as The ELC celebrates its 40th anniversary.

Gala Week is designed to span the leadership journey. The Honors Symposium connects ELC Scholars with senior executives and hiring managers as they prepare to enter the workplace. The Mid-Level Managers’ Symposium develops high-performing professionals preparing for greater leadership responsibility. Corporate Board Navigator helps ELC members prepare for corporate board service.
