About the ranking
The Stanford Top 2% ranking is considered one of the most prestigious lists of scientific achievements in the world. It is based on an analysis of bibliometric data from the Scopus database and classifies scientific achievements in all fields of science according to a bibliometric index that takes into account criteria such as: the Hirsch index, number of citations (including self-citations), Impact Factor, position and role on the list of authors.
The full list is available on the Elsevier website.
