Three RS scholars have been ranked among top 2% of scientists in the world

We are delighted to share the good news that three RS scholars (listed below) have been ranked among the world’s top 2% most-cited scientists. They were named, along with more than 200 PolyU scholars, in the latest “Updated science-wide author databases of standardised citation indicators”, compiled by Stanford University. To group and rank over 100,000 top scientists across the world into 22 subject fields and 176 sub-fields, the Stanford research team led by Prof. John Ioannidis used an array of standardised citation indicators including 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 2021.
