ACTSI Investigators & Emory School of Medicine MilliPub Club Awardees

The MilliPub Club honors and recognizes current Emory faculty who have published one or more individual papers throughout their careers that have each garnered more than 1,000 citations. Such a paper is commonly considered a “citation classic” and represents high impact scholarship. The MilliPub Club is sponsored by the Emory School of Medicine but membership is open to any qualifying Emory faculty member.
