The Analytical Scientist magazine published who the most influential people in the analytical sciences are. After an open nomination period, a jury consisting of the editorial team (Richard Gallagher, Rich Whitworth and Frank van Geel) and twelve well-respected scientists whose names are unstated produced a ranking of 100 names. Only the top 20 names were published.
