Developed by Stanford University in collaboration with Elsevier, this global ranking evaluates researchers through standardised citation indicators, including citation counts, h-index, and a composite citation score (c-score), providing an overview of their scientific influence and impact across different research fields.
The annual study presents two distinct lists: one highlighting scientific impact based on citations received during 2025 (Single-year impact) and another reflecting researchers’ career-long impact, considering citation data up to the end of 2025 (Career-long impact). Published in October 2026 and based on Scopus data extracted in August 2026, this edition covers 20 scientific fields and 174 subfields, offering a comprehensive perspective on research impact worldwide.
