We’re incredibly proud to celebrate 35 scholars from the Faculty of Science recognised among the latest list of the World’s Top 2% Most-Cited Scientists 2026 (career-long and single-year citation impact data), compiled by Stanford University. This prestigious recognition reflects the exceptional quality, influence and global impact of our scholars’ research across diverse scientific disciplines.
Using the Scopus author profiles as of 7 October 2026, Stanford University released the latest top 2% scientists in various scientific fields. The list was prepared by Prof. John Ioannidis and his team from Stanford University, the updated database (version 9) provides standardized information on citations, h-index, co-authorship-adjusted hm-index, citations to papers in different authorship positions, and a composite indicator.
