World’s Top 2% Scientists (2021-2025)

I have been listed among the “World’s Top 2% Scientists” for five consecutive years (2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025), according to the Elsevier Data Repository compiled by Prof. John P.A. Ioannidis and his team at Stanford University. The “World’s Top 2% Scientists” list is a publicly accessible database that highlights the most highly cited researchers worldwide, providing standardized information on citations, h-index, co-authorship adjusted hm-index, citations for works in various author positions, and combined indicators (c-score). Over the past five years (2021-2025), I have consistently ranked in the top 2% of scientists globally in both the “Career-Long Achievement” and “Single Year Achievement” categories. Career-Long Achievement measures a researcher’s overall impact throughout their career, while Single Year Achievement evaluates their performance based on a specific year’s research output and citations. The 2025 data can be accessed through the Elsevier website or via a third-party website linked to Elsevier at Top Researcher List website.

Caution! It is important to interpret these figures cautiously, as numbers often do not fully capture reality. I place greater emphasis on the significance and purpose behind research work. It is this meaning that truly matters. Don’t misinterpret it.
