SN researchers among world’s top 2% of scientists on Stanford University list
Prof. Alex Molasiotis, Head of the School, and Prof. Frances Wong, Chair Professor of Nursing (Advanced Nursing Practice) and Associate Dean (PolyU’s Faculty of Health and Social Sciences), have been listed among the world’s most cited researchers and those who are among the top 2% scientists within their specialty areas, released by Stanford University.
Together with a total of 158 PolyU scholars, five SN scholars (including those who had left the School and retired) were named in the ranking of 2% of the best scientists whose publications are most frequently cited by other authors across the globe. PolyU has the second highest number of scientists included on the list among Hong Kong universities.
The ranking method is based on standardized citation metrics developed by a group of scientists led by John PA Ioannidis##, a statistician at Stanford University. 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 2019.
