The list of the top 2% of the most influential scientists in the world, according to the Scopus platform, compiled annually by Stanford University, has been published.
Stanford University selects the top 2% of the most influential scientists in the world across 22 fields and 174 areas. A scientist's position in the ranking is determined using a formula based on the h-index, number of publications, number of citations, and other scientometric indicators. The composite score reflects influence (including self-citations) in each scientific field. This year, the assessment was conducted using all Scopus author profiles as of August 1, 2025. Country and organizational affiliation were determined based on affiliation in the most recently published article.
