Celebrating 21 Editorial Board Members of Journal of Translational Genetics and Genomics Named Among the "World's Top 2% Scientists 2025"
We are thrilled to announce that 22 Editorial Board members from Journal of Translational Genetics and Genomics (JTGG) have been recognized among the World's Top 2% Scientists 2025 by Stanford University and Elsevier. This prestigious list, released on September 19, 2025, honors scholars for their significant contributions to science. The ranking distinguishes scientists based on two categories: Career-long Impact, which highlights lifetime scientific influence, and Single-year Impact, which reflects academic achievements over the past year. We are excited to share that 10 of our distinguished board members have been recognized in both categories, while 2 were featured for their Career-long Impact, and 9 were celebrated for their exceptional accomplishments in Single-year Impact. The lists of honorees are as follows:

The "World's Top 2% Scientists 2025" list is compiled based on comprehensive data from the Scopus database. It evaluates six key factors: total citations (with and without self-citations), Hirsch H-index, Schreiber Hm-index adjusted for co-authorship, and contributions as sole, first, or lead author. From a pool of nearly 7 million scientists worldwide, only the top 2% are selected across 22 fields and 174 subfields, recognizing their outstanding contributions to their respective academic disciplines.
This honor reflects the remarkable impact that our Editorial Board members continue to make in the scientific community. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to these distinguished scholars for their achievements and look forward to their ongoing groundbreaking research and contributions.
