About the Ranking List
World’s Top 2% Scientists list is published by Professor John P.A. Ioannidis and his team on Mendeley Data owned by Elsevier, which is mainly judged on the number of papers published by scientists and the quality of citations. The world's top 2% of scientists are selected from nearly 7 million candidates across 22 scientific fields and 176 sub-fields under arts, science, and engineering. Given the differences in sub-fields, the updated list also shows the comprehensive citation index ranking of each scientist in its sub-fields.
The list comprises a career-long impact list (1960-2021) and a single-year impact list 2021, which covers the overall data from 1960 to 2021 and in 2021. Both lists include and exclude self-citation data, as well as contain the comprehensive citation index of each scientist in its sub-fields. The comprehensive citation index ranking in sub-fields provides a metric for scientists' long-term research performance so as to objectively and truly reflect their influence.
