JMI: Twenty-six researchers earn coveted spot in Stanford University's List of Top 2% Scientists

This recognition is based on a publicly available database of over 96,17,763 top scientists, which includes standardized information on citations, h-index, citations to papers in various authorship positions, and a composite indicator. 

A total of 26 researchers of Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) have secured a spot in Stanford University's prestigious global list of top 2% scientists. This esteemed list is curated by a team of experts led by eminent Professor John Ioannidis of Stanford University and published by Elsevier BV.

JMI Vice Chancellor Prof. Najma Akhtar stated, "This recognition reflects the exceptional research standards upheld at JMI. It establishes our university on the global map of excellence and fills us with immense pride."

Stanford University's list features approximately 3,500 researchers from India, highlighting the significant impact of the country's scholarly endeavours on the global research landscape. Stanford University has released two lists, one based on career-long data and another focusing on the performance of researchers in the year 2022.

Scientists are classified into 22 scientific fields and 174 sub-fields. Field- and subfield-specific percentiles are also provided for all scientists with at least five papers. Career-long data are updated to end-of-2022 and single recent year data pertain to citations received during the calendar year 2022. The selection is based on the top 100,000 scientists by c-score (with and without self-citations) or a percentile rank of 2% or above in the sub-field. The c-score focused on impact (citations) rather than productivity (number of publications), and it also incorporates information on co-authorship and author positions (single, first, last author).
