English translation:most cited Spanish researcher
Explanation:
See my discussion post above. This alternative would suggest that his work has been cited BY OTHERS more than any other Spanish researcher. The number of citations a researcher receives from his/her peers is taken as a measure of that scientists importance. See also the Hirsch Index, which is similar to the journal impact factor but for individual researchers.

highest impact rate/level


Explanation:
Acta Geologica Polonica with IF = 0.462 occupies 40th position among 52 classified periodicals (Table 3), and compares well with several well known scientific journals, such as International Journal of Coal Geology, Comptes Rendus de l'Academie des Sciences, Carbonates and Evaporites and Geologie en Mijnbouw, which come below it (see Table 3). On the other hand, the highest ranked geoscience journals have an impact factor above 2. This **highest impact rate** for 1999 is exemplified by Elseviers Earth-Science Reviews, the American core triad Geological Society of America Bulletin, Geology, and Journal of Geology, as well as by Journal of the Geological Society and Terra Nova in 1999.
