The World's Top 2% Scientists 2025 ranking is based on comprehensive data from Scopus, using six metrics: total citations (with and without self-citations), the Hirsch H-index, the Schreiber Hm-index (adjusted for co-authorship), and weighted authorship roles (sole, first, or lead author). Among nearly 7 million researchers worldwide, only the top 2% across 22 scientific fields and 174 subfields are included, reflecting the rigor and prestige of this recognition.
The inclusion of 23 JCA Editorial Board members in this year's ranking highlights their exceptional academic influence and reflects the journal's ongoing role in supporting high-quality research in cardiovascular aging.
