This week, Stanford University, one of the top research and educational institutions in the world, released its yearly list of the “World’s Top 2% Scientists,” which includes the researchers who receive the most citations across all academic fields.
Top 2% of scientists in 2021 (LIST RELEASED IN 2022)

The list of the top 2% most cited scientists in the world, just published by Stanford University, includes 2,273 scientists from India. However, China, which has 7,795 scientists on the list, much outnumbers this figure, which is based on lifetime citations. In the list of scientists referenced in 2021, the difference is much greater: India has 3,796, which is less than a sixth of China’s 19,459.
India performed badly as compared to China and even lagged behind Brazil and South Africa in several topics, although outperforming the other BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) countries overall.
A total of 21 researchers and faculty members from the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, including Professor TG Sitharam, Director of the Institute, have been featured among the world’s Top 2 percent Scientists List created by Stanford University, US.
Professor T G Sitharam, Director, along with 20 other faculty members have been ranked for their research publications citations using all Scopus author profiles as of September 1, 2022, and their lifetime contribution to their specific fields of research in the list.
Scientists are classified into 22 scientific fields and 176 sub-fields. The selection is based on the top 100,000 scientists by c-score (with and without self-citations) or a percentile rank of 2 percent or above in the sub-field. As many as 195,605 scientists are included in the career-long database and 200,409 scientists are included in the single recent year dataset. This version (4) is based on the 1st September 2022 snapshot from Scopus, updated to the end of the citation year 2021.
