22 HKICE faculty members have been enlisted as the Top 2% of the World's Most Cited Scientists in the Career-Long impact from the list published by Stanford University in October 2022. Additionally, 37 faculty members have found a place on the list for a Single-Year impact (2022).

Congratulations to 22 HKICE faculty members who have been enlisted as the top 2% most cited scientists in the world from the list published by Stanford University in October 2022. These researchers are recognized for their Career Long Impact. Additionally, a total of 37 faculty members have also found a place on the list for a Single-Year impact (2022).

Stanford’s citation ranking database (which is publicly available in Mendeley Data) was developed by Professor John Ioannidis. It is based on a standardized system for comparing citations and h-index, which also factors in co-authorship and other composite indicators. Researchers in this database are classified into 22 fields and 176 sub-fields. The updated list of more than 100,000 scientists includes two categories: career-long citation impact and current-year impact. World’s Top 2% Scientists is a list compiled by a team of experts led by Prof. Ioannidis at Stanford University, based on data from Elsevier’s Scopus. The Top 2% is considered one of the most prestigious recognitions in the field of science and is well-accepted by scientists across the world for the exemplary citations presented by the featured scientists.
