ITC Scholars Ranked Among Top 2% of Scientists In The World

ITC is proud to share that 13 of our colleagues are now ranked among the world’s top 2% scientists in a report by Stanford University in the USA. This recognition demonstrates the influence of ITC in a multitude of disciplines and signifies our dedication to conducting world-class research in Fashion and Textiles.

The colleagues who are listed among the Top 2% include Profs. Jintu Fan, Xiaoming Tao, John Xin, Chen Wei, Hu Hong, Chi-wai Kan, Calvin Wong, Christina Wong, Bingang Xu, Kinor Jiang and Zijian Zheng, and Drs Fei Bin and Joanne Yip.

This updated science-wide author database is created by using the Scopus database of over 100,000 top scientists in the world based on standardised citation indicators. The rankings are based on a composite indicator for career-long impact that consists of: an individual’s scientific productivity and impact or h-index, co-authorship adjusted hm-index, and citations to papers in different authorship positions. The list also provides metrics with and without self-citations and the ratio of citations to citing papers. There are 22 scientific fields and 176 sub-fields of scientists. Field- and subfield-specific percentiles are also offered to all scientists who have published at least 5 papers. Career-long data are updated as of the end of 2020.

The following two tables highlight the rankings of ITC scholars in terms of their ‘Career-long Impact Statistics’ and ‘Single Year Impact Statistics’.

Congratulations to all of them.
