Stanford University has recently published an update to a database that represented top-cited scientists worldwide†. We are very excited to share the news with you that three of our UBSN management committee professors are ranked among the world's top 2% most-cited scientists.
The Stanford research team retrieved Scopus publication data up to 2021 provided by Elsevier and standardised citation data using metrics such as h-index, co-authorship hm-index. The calculation resulted in a list of 100,000 top scientists across the world from 22 scientific fields and 176 sub-fields.
The three scholars are:
| Name | Subject field | Percentile |
| Prof. Marco Pang (SCOPUS profile link) Director of UBSN |
Rehabilitation | Top 1% |
| Prof. Benjamin Yee (SCOPUS profile link) Member of UBSN Management Committee |
Neurology & neurosurgery | Top 2% |
| Prof. Yongping Zheng (SCOPUS profile link) Member of UBSN Management Committee |
Biomedical engineering | Top 2% |
