A study coordinated by John Ioannidis, a professor at Stanford University, has been identifying the world's most influential researchers since 2021, and NOVA FCT has been represented since the first edition.
In the latest update, NOVA FCT has 49 names on the list, including the most cited researchers throughout their careers and the researchers with the most impact in the last year. The ranking was based on Scopus, an international online database of scientific articles and their respective citations in various types of academic journals and magazines.
The list, best known as the "World's Top 2% Scientists list", identifies more than 100,000 influential researchers, in 22 scientific areas and 176 disciplines, whose work has accelerated progress and productivity in their fields.
