On September 16, 2025, as is customary each year, Elsevier published its list of the “World’s Top 2% Scientists,” compiled using a methodology developed by researchers at Stanford University (Ioannidis, John P.A. (2025), “August 2025 data-update for ‘Updated science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators’”, Elsevier Data Repository, V8, doi: 10.17632/btchxktzyw.8).
The list identifies the top 2% of scientists worldwide based on citation metrics. Researchers are grouped into two categories: one for overall career impact and one for impact in a single year. The list uses the extensive abstract and citation database of Scopus/ Elsevier to calculate an overall score (c-score) that takes into account the number of citations, the Hirsch index (h-index), and the corrected h-index, thus providing a reliable measure of the impact that the scientific work of individual researchers has, relative to their field of activity, within the international scientific community of reference.
Once again this year, the Department of Chemical Sciences and Technologies has confirmed its scientific excellence, with ten professors ranked in the top 2% in terms of overall career impact and/or impact in a single year (2024).
