AMU scientists included in the prestigious ‘World's Top 2% Scientists’ ranking

The ranking features scientists who, based on bibliometric indicators, are among the top 2% in the world.

The data used in the ranking comes from the Scopus database.

The rankings are determined by a composite index called the c-score, which takes into account the number of citations, co-authorship contributions, and authorship positions. This approach emphasises significant impact rather than merely measuring productivity.
