In September 2026, Elsevier, in collaboration with Stanford University, jointly released the World's Top 2% Scientists 2026 ranking. The ranking encompasses 22 major fields and 174 subfields, and is based on a composite of indicators including total citation count, h-index, the co-authorship-adjusted hm-index, and citations attributed according to different authorship positions. From a global pool of more than 8 million scholars, it selects those whose academic influence ranks within the top 2%, thereby providing a metric for scientists' long-term research performance and offering a more objective and authentic reflection of their influence and scholarly achievements.The World's Top 2% Scientists ranking comprises two lists: the "Career" ranking and the "Single-year" ranking. The Career-long Scientific Impact ranking focuses on a scientist's influence over the course of their entire academic career to date, whereas the Single-year Scientific Impact ranking focuses more specifically on the scientist's scholarly impact in the most recent year.
