Recently, Stanford University released the seventh version of the World’s Top 2% Scientists List. Six scholars from BUCEA, i.e. LI Aiqun, WANG Chongchen, HAO Xiaodi, GAO Dawen, WANG Peng, and TIAN Guangdong, were listed for Career-Long Impact. Nine scholars, i.e. WANG Chongchen, TIAN Guangdong, HAO Xiaodi, GAO Dawen, WANG Yanxue, WANG Peng, ZHAO Chen, YI Xiaohong, and FU Huifen, were recognized for Single-Year Impact.

The World’s Top 2% Scientists List is published by Professor John P. A. Ioannidis and his team, determined by six key metrics including the total number of citations, h-index, and hm-index. Scientists are classified into 22 broad fields and 176 sub-fields. Of nearly 7 million scientists around the world, only those who rank in the top 2% are selected. The Career-Long Impact ranking reflects the overall impact of a scientist’s career, while the Single-Year Impact focuses on their academic influence in the past year.
