95 Faculty Scholars Ranked World’s Top 2% Scientists released by Stanford University

95 FENG scholars (including retired or former members) have been listed among the top 2% scientists in a global list released by the prestigious Stanford University. The ranking identifies the top scholars in their own areas of specialty and whose publications are most frequently cited by other authors around the globe.

The scholars were named in the "Updated science-wide author databases of standardised citation indicators", compiled by Stanford University where a research team, led by Professor John Ioannidis, created the database of close to 160,000 top scientists across the world on the basis of standardised citation indicators. The scientists were grouped into 22 subject fields and 176 sub-fields using the indicators, which included information on citations, an individual’s scientific research output, co-authorship and a composite indicator for career-long citation impact up to the end of 2020.

The full list of FENG scholars and their respective subject fields can be viewed at the link.

Congratulations to our Faculty members on the high ranking!
