The science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators is a multidimensional ranking of the world’s scientists produced since 2015 by a team of researchers led by John P. A. Ioannidis at Stanford. [1][2]Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name (see the help page).Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name (see the help page).
Main
Based on data from Scopus, this indicators explore about 8 million records of scientists’ citations in order to rank a subset of 200,000 most-cited authors across all scientific fields. This is commonly referred to as Stanford ranking of the 2% best scientists.
The ranking is achieved via a composite indicator built on six citation metrics
- Total citations;
- Coauthorship-adjusted Schreiber hm-index;
- The number of citations to papers as a single author;
- The number of citations to papers as single or first author;
- The number of citations to papers as single, first, or last author.
Data
Data (about 200,000 records) are freely downloadable from Elsevier through the International Center for the Study of Research (ICSR) Lab.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name (see the help page).
