24% of SUTD Faculty Listed Among the Top 2% Scientists in a Global List by Stanford University

DATE

25 Nov 2021

24% of SUTD faculty have been listed among the top 2% of scientists globally. The database released by Stanford University and Elsevier BV identifies the world’s top scientists across 22 scientific fields and 176 sub-fields.

The selection is based on the top 100,000 scientists by c-score (with and without self-citations) and the database provides standardised information on citations, h-index, co-authorship adjusted hm-index, citations to papers in different authorship positions and a composite indicator.
