The ranking is compiled annually by John P. A. Ioannidis from Stanford University and published by Elsevier. It is based on data from the Scopus scientific database and evaluates researchers according to the c-score, a composite citation metric that takes into account not only the number of citations but also the h-index, co-authorship, and the researcher’s position among the publication’s authors.
The ranking includes researchers who are among the top 100,000 according to the c-score or among the top 2% in their scientific field. The current edition, published in October 2026, is based on citation data through the end of 2025.
The inclusion of six researchers from ÚFE in these international rankings demonstrates the significant citation impact of their research and its importance to the global scientific community.
