The list highlights the world’s leading scientists who have made a substantial impact in their respective fields through their citation influence. It evaluates research impact using career-long and single-year citation data across 22 scientific fields and 174 sub-fields to ensure fair and comprehensive representation, according to its official website.
The selection metric, the composite indicator (c-score), accounts for the number of citations, co-authorship adjustments, and authorship positions, focusing on meaningful impact rather than just productivity.
