Recently, a team led by Professor John P.A. Ioannidis from Stanford University, in collaboration with Elsevier, published the seventh edition of the World’s Top 2% Scientists list (1960-2023). This list is divided into two categories: "Career Scientific Influence" (which assesses the overall impact throughout the academic career) and "Annual Scientific Influence." Our university's scholars, including Shujun Wang, Liang Hao, Wei Tian, Bowen Cheng, Chuanling Si, Guozhen Fang, Jing Chen, Tianlong Deng, and Shuli Man, have been recognized in the "Career Scientific Influence" category, with two additional scholars added compared to the sixth edition of 2023 (1960-2022). Additionally, Shujun Wang, Chuanling Si, Bowen Cheng, and 28 other scholars have been included in the 2024 "Annual Scientific Influence" list, with seven new scholars added compared to the previous sixth edition (1960-2022).

The list of our university’s scholars recognized in the "Career Scientific Influence" category along with their respective disciplines.

The list of our university’s scholars is recognized in the "Annual Scientific Influence" category along with their respective disciplines.

Being selected for the global list of the top 2% of scientists signifies that our institution's scholars have a substantial global impact within their respective research fields. Their scientific achievements have made significant contributions to the development of these disciplines. This recognition not only acknowledges the individual research capabilities of the selected scholars but also illustrates our school's commitment to integrating education, technology, and talent development. It reflects the encouraging trend of continually enhancing the vitality of our academic and research efforts.

Note: The global list of the top 2% of scientists is determined by analyzing citation data from the Scopus database. Selection is based on six comprehensive metrics, including total citations, H-index, and HM factor, assessing both "career impact" and "annual impact," from nearly 7 million scientists to identify the top 2% globally across 22 fields and 174 subfields. The 2024 edition has incorporated data on retracted papers (sourced from the Retraction Watch database) as well as the citation/self-citation status of these retracted papers. Career data has been updated to the end of 2023. This version is based on the Scopus database as of August 1, 2024, and includes updates to citation data up to the end of 2023.
