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.
