In 2019, researchers from Stanford University (Ioannidis et al. 2019) published a ranking of the world's most-cited scholars. This was highly acclaimed for its methodology and scope because it combined various citation indicators calculated based on data from Scopus (Elsevier).
In the most recent edition, the freely accessible, comprehensive dataset of the Stanford study shows which scholars are among the top 2% of each individual scientific field in terms of citations for 22 disciplines with 176 subfields. The study takes into account the fact that citation densities can vary considerably between individual disciplines – and also makes researchers at the top of their field within a rather low-citation area more visible.
The Stanford dataset on citations in 2021 lists a total of 121 scientists from the University of Stuttgart who are among the top 2% of the world’s most cited in their field. Among them are a couple of SFB 1313 principal investigators.
- SFB 1313 spokesman and PI Rainer Helmig (research projects A02 and C02)
- SFB 1313 PI Christian Holm (research project C01)
- SFB 1313 PI Bernhard Weigand (research project A02)
- SFB 1313 PI Wolfgang Nowak (research projects B04 and B05)
- SFB 1313 external partner Majid S. Hassanizadeh (affiliaition to the research projects A01 and A02)
- Former SFB 1313 PI András Bárdossy (research project B02)
Congratulations to all of them!
