The University Scientists Are Among the Most Cited Ones in the World

One of the largest scientific publishing houses in the world, Elsevier, has published the next annual update of the ranking of the most cited scientists on the planet. Scopus indexes over 20 thousand scientific journals published in different countries.

When compiling the ranking, experts take the number of mentions of scientists in the Scopus database of peer-reviewed scientific literature as a basis. The authors of the study used data on more than eight million scientists in various fields of science. The ranking was compiled on the basis of indicators for a specific field of science without taking into account self-citations.
