Stanford University compiled the list, using Scopus, the biggest abstract and citation database in the world. It selects world’s top 2% from nearly 800 million scientists from 22 scientific fields and 176 subfields. The list is categorized into 2 sub lists: Top 2% Scientists (Career Impact) (1960-2022) List and 2021 Top 2% Most Influential Scientists (Single Year) List. The analysis team used 5 key indexes of Scopus author profiles as of September 1, 2022 to reflect the influence of their research papers, such as citations, Hirsch h-index, co-authorship adjusted Schreiber hm-index, citations to papers in different authorship positions and a composite indicator.
