On September 17, 2024, Elsevier released an updated dataset titled “Updated Science-Wide Author Databases of Standardized Citation Indicators.” This comprehensive analysis was conducted by a team of experts led by Professor John P.A. Ioannidis from Stanford University in the USA. Notably, the study recognized the achievements of Sri Lankan scientists, including four scientists from the National Institute of Fundamental Studies. The late Emeritus Prof. C.B. Dissanayake, Prof. M.A.K.L. Dissanayake, Prof. Gamini Seneviratne, Prof. Suresh P. Benjamin, and Visiting Associate Research Professor Meththika Vithanage were part of the career-long scientists list.
The Top 2% Scientists list is a valuable resource for identifying the most influential scientists in the world. It can be used to identify potential collaborators, track scientific research trends, and inform funding decisions.
The analysis presented separate datasets for career-long and recent-year impact metrics, classifying scientists into 22 scientific fields and 174 sub-fields, as per the standard Science-Metrix classification. The career-long data were updated to include information up to the end of 2023, while the recent-year data specifically covered citations received during the calendar year 2023. The selection criteria were stringent: scientists had to either rank among the top 100,000 by c-score (with and without self-citations) or achieve a percentile rank of 2% or higher within their respective sub-field.
