37 RISE Scholars Ranked World’s Top 2% Scientists Released by Stanford University (Career-Long)

13 Oct 2025


Stanford University has released an update for science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators in September 2025.

According to the latest two rankings, 37 RISE scholars were included based on their career-long citation impact. Together with the scholars named for their single-year citation impact, 48 RISE scholars were recognised.


It is prepared by a team of experts led by Professor John P.A. loannidis of Stanford University. The publicly available database provides standardized information on citations, h-index, co-authorship adjusted hm-index, citations to papers in different authorship positions and a composite indicator 
(c-score). By being included in this list, scientists receive global recognition for advancing knowledge and influencing their scientific communities.


The list can be downloaded from 
here.


Congratulations to our RISE top scholars!
