Stanford University has updated its list of the world’s top researchers based on the citations of their work. The list is now the fourth update of this ranking, which once again classifies the scientists considered to be among the top 2% globally, totaling more than 195,000. The study uses two temporal approaches, one considering the entire research career and the other based solely on citations corresponding to the year 2021.
Two IRTA researchers, Joaquim Segalés and Marina Sibila, are among the best veterinary researchers in Spain according to this ranking. Joaquim Segalés leads the two temporal approaches as the best veterinary researcher in Spain, while Marina Sibila enters the 2021 approach.
The study uses the Scopus database as a reference, groups researchers by subject area and includes a combined indicator based on different bibliometric indicators, such as the h-index, considering scientific production in different periods. The last consultation to develop the ranking was completed in September 2022 and has included data up to the end of 2021.
