World's Top 2% ScientistsLink: https://topresearcherslist.comTopResearchersList.com is an interactive platform that provides access to Stanford University's "World's Top 2% Scientists" list. It allows users to search for and explore detailed profiles of leading researchers across various scientific fields. Scientists included in the list can claim and personalize their profiles using their institutional email addresses, enhancing their online presence and credibility. The website offers powerful search and filtering tools that allow users to easily navigate and explore the vast database of top researchers.About: topresearcherslist.comStanford/Elsevier's Top 2% Scientist RankingsStanford's Top 2% Scientists is an esteemed ranking that identifies the most cited scholars in their fields. This ranking, derived from Scopus database data, highlights researchers whose work has had a significant impact across various scientific disciplines.MethodologyThe ranking is based on a composite indicator (c-score) calculated from six citation metrics:Total citations (NC)H-index (H)Hm-index (H-index adjusted for the number of authors)Citations to single-author papers (NCS)Citations to single or first-author papers (NCSF)Citations to single, first, or last-author papers (NCSFL)The c-score combines these metrics to provide a comprehensive measure of a scientist's impact, accounting for both the quantity and the quality of their contributions.Selection CriteriaTop 100,000 Scientists: Scholars are ranked based on their c-score, including and excluding self-citations. 2% Percentile: Scientists in the top 2% of their sub-field are also included. Field and Sub-field Classification Researchers are categorized into 22 scientific fields and 174 sub-fields based on the standard Science-Metrix classification.Data And UpdatesCareer-long Impact: Metrics cover the entire career of a scientist up to the end of current year-1.Recent Year Impact: Metrics focus on citations received during current year-1.Latest Version: This latest version is based on the Scopus snapshot as of October 1, current year.Transparency and Accessibility: This is a publicly accessible database that includes standardized information on citations, h-index, co-authorship adjusted hm-index, and the c-score. Metrics are available with and without self-citations, and field-specific percentiles are included for all scientists with at least five papers.For more detailed information, visit the ICSR Lab.Stanford University's list of "World's Top 2%" scientists is based on a 2% or above percentile rank, or the top 100,000 by c-score (with and without self-citations). This prestigious list identifies the world's leading researchers, representing approximately 2% of all scientists worldwide. It encompasses standardised data on citations, h-index, and a wide range of bibliometric indicators. Researchers are classified into 22 scientific fields and 174 sub-fields, drawing from Scopus data provided by Elsevier through ICSR Lab.

August 2024 data-update for "Updated science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators"Published: 16 September 2024|Version 7 |DOI: 10.17632/btchxktzyw.7Contributor: John P.A. IoannidisLink: https://elsevier.digitalcommonsdata.com/datasets/btchxktzyw/7Citation metrics are widely used and misused. We have created a publicly available database of top-cited scientists that provides standardized information on citations, h-index, co-authorship adjusted hm-index, citations to papers in different authorship positions and a composite indicator (c-score). Separate data are shown for career-long and, separately, for single recent year impact. Metrics with and without self-citations and ratio of citations to citing papers are given and data on retracted papers (based on Retraction Watch database) as well as citations to/from retracted papers have been added in the most recent iteration. Scientists are classified into 22 scientific fields and 174 sub-fields according to the standard Science-Metrix classification. Field- and subfield-specific percentiles are also provided for all scientists with at least 5 papers. Career-long data are updated to end-of-2023 and single recent year data pertain to citations received during calendar year 2023. The selection is based on the top 100,000 scientists by c-score (with and without self-citations) or a percentile rank of 2% or above in the sub-field. This version (7) is based on the August 1, 2024 snapshot from Scopus, updated to end of citation year 2023. This work uses Scopus data. Calculations were performed using all Scopus author profiles as of August 1, 2024. If an author is not on the list it is simply because the composite indicator value was not high enough to appear on the list. It does not mean that the author does not do good work. PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT THE DATABASE HAS BEEN PUBLISHED IN AN ARCHIVAL FORM AND WILL NOT BE CHANGED. The published version reflects Scopus author profiles at the time of calculation. We thus advise authors to ensure that their Scopus profiles are accurate. REQUESTS FOR CORRECIONS OF THE SCOPUS DATA (INCLUDING CORRECTIONS IN AFFILIATIONS) SHOULD NOT BE SENT TO US. They should be sent directly to Scopus, preferably by use of the Scopus to ORCID feedback wizard (https://orcid.scopusfeedback.com/) so that the correct data can be used in any future annual updates of the citation indicator databases. The c-score focuses on impact (citations) rather than productivity (number of publications) and it also incorporates information on co-authorship and author positions (single, first, last author). If you have additional questions, see attached file on FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS. Finally, we alert users that all citation metrics have limitations and their use should be tempered and judicious.
