Almost three thousand researchers from India found a place in the list that represents the beneficial impact of the country on the global research platform.

Stanford University, USA has included 21 researchers from Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) to its list of top 2% scientists worldwide. The first coveted list is based on career-long in which seven JMI professors found their place.

The list, released by the world-renowned university a few days back, was prepared by a team of experts led by Prof. John Ioannidis, the eminent Professor at Stanford University and published by Elsevier BV,. Stanford University scientists have created a database of top-cited scientists that 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).

They show separate data for career-long and for single recent year impact. Career-long data are updated to end-of-2021, and single current-year data pertain to citations received during the calendar year 2021. The selection is based on a percentile rank of 2% or above in the sub-field. They classified scientists into 22 scientific fields and 176 sub-fields.

JMI Vice Chancellor Prof. Najma Akhtar said, “It is an acknowledgement of the high standard of research being undertaken at JMI. This recognition places the university on the global map of excellence and brings great pride to the institution.”
