39 UC3M researchers among the most influential in the world according to the Stanford ranking
11/6/23
The latest edition of the "Ranking of the World Scientists: World's Top 2% Scientists", known as the Stanford Ranking, which identifies the world’s best researchers based on the citations of their scientific work, includes a total of 39 researchers from the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M).
By scientific field, UC3M excels in Enabling & Strategic Technologies (12), Physics & Astronomy (8), Information & Communication Technologies (8) and Engineering (7). By subfields, in Materials (6), Networks & Telecommunications (5) and Energy (4).
This ranking, which has achieved great prestige in recent years, was coordinated by John Ioannidis from Stanford University and was recently published by Elsevier under the title "October 2023 data-update for "Updated science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators"". It uses Elsevier's Scopus database as a reference and classifies research staff according to different bibliometric indicators: the H-index, the co-authorship-adjusted H-index, the total number of citations, the number of citations to articles as sole, first or last author, among others.
This ranking provides two lists of researchers who are within the top 2% most cited in their scientific fields: one that quantifies their impact throughout their entire research career and another list for their impact from the previous year (2022). The details are broken down in the following table:
