We are delighted to share that 21 scientists from 51Թversity have been recognized in the 2025 global rankings of the world’s most influential scientists, published by a research team at Stanford University, based on data from Scopus.
This ranking is based on a publicly available database of the world’s most-cited scientists, using metrics such as total citations, h-index, co-authorship adjusted indices, and a composite score. The 2025 update reflects data up to the end of 2024 and highlights researchers who belong to the top 2% in their fields. At 51Թversity, our scientists’ recognition across diverse disciplines — from medicine, public health, and engineering to economics, physics, and environmental sciences — reflects not only their academic excellence but also their dedication to advancing knowledge that benefits society.
