Mae Fah Luang University would like to congratulate six lecturers who have been named in the global list of the top 2% of scientists created by Stanford University. The list identifies the top scholars in their own areas of specialty and whose publications are most frequently cited by other authors around the globe.
Stanford University scientists have created the database of over 100,000 top scientists of the world on the basis of standardized citation indicators such as information on citations, H-index, co-authorship, and a composite indicator. The study was published in PLOS Biology: “Updated science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators”. The list selected the top 2% scientists worldwide in 22 scientific fields and 176 sub-fields by assessing their career-long impact until the end of 2020 and citation impact during the single calendar year 2020.
