UWr researchers in the TOP 2% Scientists ranking
Stanford University and the Elsevier publishing house have published the next edition of the ranking of researchers with the greatest impact on the development of science in the world (the so-called TOP 2% list). Every year, more and more scientists from the University of Wrocław appear in the list.
The ranking presents a list of the most influential scientists based on the criterion of lifetime scientific output (career-long impact ), as well as a list of the most influential researchers in 2023 (single year impact). The former includes 27 researchers from the University of Wrocław, while the latter includes 24 researchers from our university. Last year, the ‘career-long impact’ list included 25 researchers from the UWr, while the ‘single year impact’ list included 20.
The compilation is based on the Scopus database. In compiling the lists of the most influential scientists, the analysts took into account a number of bibliographic indicators with different weights, on the basis of which a so-called ‘composite score c’ was calculated, the amount of which was the basis for the classification of the scientist at a given position in the ranking.
The ranking takes into account indicators such as the number of citations (with and without self-citation), the Hirsch index, the hm index (a modified Hirsch index that takes into account the number of co-authors of an article), as well as an indicator concerning the position and role in the list of authors of a publication.
The ranking shows the positions of scientists both without and with self-citations.
Researchers were classified according to 22 fields and 176 sub-fields of science.
