The Top 2% World's Top Scientists list, the fruit of a collaborative project of Elsevier Database and a team of Stanford professors, is released on Elsevier's Mendeley Data website. The list is based on such comprehensive parameters as the number of citations, h-index (which is used to assess the quantity and level of academic output of researchers), co-author-adjusted hm-index, and citations of individual or first-author articles of nearly 7 million scientists across the world. It covers scientists from 22 disciplines and 176 sub-disciplines ranked top 2% globally, providing a measure of scientists' long-term scientific performance and indicating more objectively and realistically the potential of scientists' output and academic influence.
