Awards & Recognitions

Four MHRC members have been listed among the top 2% of scientists in a global list released by the prestigious Stanford University. The ranking identifies the top scholars in their own areas of specialty and whose publications are most frequently cited by other authors around the globe.

The report was released by a team of experts led by Prof. John Ioannidis of Stanford University, and the latest version was published on 4 October 2023. Scientists are classified into 22 scientific fields and 174 sub-fields. The publicly available database of over 100,000 top scientists provides standardised information on citations, h-index, co-authorship adjusted hm-index, citations to papers in different authorship positions, and a composite indicator. The report can be downloaded from Elsevier: https://elsevier.digitalcommonsdata.com/datasets/btchxktzyw/6

Congratulations to our colleagues on the high ranking and impact in the world! This recognition demonstrates MHRC’s influence in multi disciplines and signifies our dedication in conducting world-class research in mental health.
