Congratulations! 34 Professors from HKUST(GZ) Selected in the World's Top 2% Scientists List
On October 4th, Stanford University released the 6th edition of the World's Top 2% Scientists list. The list is divided into two categories: "Single Recent Year Impact," which focuses on the academic achievements of the current year, and "Career-long Impact," which recognizes the overall impact throughout one's academic career.
The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) proudly boasts 34 professors included in the prestigious ranking. Among them, 29 professors were selected for the "Single Recent Year Impact," while 24 professors were recognized in the "Career-long Impact." This achievement represents approximately 15% of our university's total academic faculty member.

Introduction to the List
The "World's Top 2% Scientists" is a joint initiative by Professor John P.A. Ioannidis's team at Stanford University and Elsevier, a globally respected academic publisher. The ranking is derived from an analysis of citation data from the Scopus database, and it employs key indicators for evaluation such as citations, Hirsch H-index, co-authorship-adjusted Schreiber Hm-index, and citations to papers in different authorship positions (sole author, first author, sole/first/last author). This process sifts out the top 2% from approximately 7 million scientists worldwide, categorizing them into 22 scientific fields and 176 sub-fields. This approach offers a reliable metric for gauging the long-term research performance of scientists, providing a more objective and authentic reflection of their impact. Inclusion in the world's top 2% scientists list implies that these scholars wield substantial global influence in their respective research fields and have made significant contributions to their advancement.
