[Stanford University's list of "World's Top 2%" scientists is based on a 2% or above percentile rank, or the top 100,000 researchers of the world. This prestigious list identifies the world's leading researchers, representing approximately 2% of all scientists worldwide. The list is updated annually based on a composite citation score to fairly measure scientific impact, accounting for both career-long and recent citation impact.] Data Source: Table_1_Authors_singleyr_2024_pubs_since_1788_wopp_extracted_202508.xlsx
