About the Global Top 2% Scientists List:

The list is compiled using comprehensive metrics—including citation counts, h-index (measuring both the quantity and impact of a researcher's publications), co-author-adjusted h-index, and citations of sole or first-author papers. Evaluating approximately 10 million scientists worldwide, it identifies those ranked in the top 2% across 22 main fields and 174 subfields, reflecting both research output and academic influence.
