About the Global Top 2% Scientists List:
The Global Top 2% Scientists List is generated from a detailed analysis of citation data in the Scopus database. Researchers are evaluated using six key metrics: total citations (excluding and including self-citations), Hirsch H-index, co-author-adjusted Schreiber Hm-index, and authorship roles. The list identifies the top 2% of nearly 7 million scientists across 22 fields and 174 subfields, reflecting their significant global influence.
We warmly congratulate all recognized IR journal scholars for this well-deserved distinction.
