On October 7, 2026, Stanford University and Elsevier jointly released the latest edition of the World’s Top 2% Scientists List, recognizing researchers whose work has made a significant impact in their respective fields. The assessment draws on citation data covering career-long and single-year research impact across 22 scientific fields and 174 subfields. The ranking uses a composite citation indicator (c-score) that incorporates citation counts, co-authorship adjustments, and authorship position. By considering multiple dimensions of research impact, the methodology aims to provide a more comprehensive assessment of researchers’ scientific contributions. Inclusion in this internationally recognized ranking highlights the influence of these scholars’ research and their contributions to the advancement of knowledge in their respective disciplines.
