Stanford University has published the Top 2% Scientists list, a database containing 160,000 names selected from 8,000,000 researchers who stand out worldwide for scientific authority on the basis of the number of publications and citations in the relevant disciplinary areas. The methodology and results of the new standardised metric were published in the journal Elsevier Biology.
A total of 22 scientific areas and 174 subcategories were examined covering the period 1996-2021. The data was collected via Scopus, one of the most important for scientific publications, and our university enters the World Ranking Scientists with no less than 59 researchers.
Calculations were performed using all Scopus author profiles as of 1 September 2022 provided by Elsevier via ICSR Lab.
