Researchers from Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń have once again been listed among the most influentialscientists in the world in terms of article citations. The ranking of the most cited scholars is compiled by Elsevier and Stanford University.
Among the most cited scientists worldwide, 42 researchers from Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń wereincluded. The updated lists were prepared based on a comprehensive evaluation of the scientific output of researchers worldwide, using a complex bibliometric index (the so-called C-score), which takes into account factorssuch as independent citation counts, the Hirsch index, and the author’s position and role among co-authors.
The ranking authors prepare two publicly available lists: one includes data from the researchers’ entire careers (up to the end of 2024), and the other covers only the last calendar year (2024). The ranking considers the top100,000 scientists according to the C-score (with and without self-citations) or those in the top 2 percent or higher in their subfield.
Among the scientists affiliated with NCU, those with the highest number of citations over their careers include:
