In October 2020, a team of experts led by Prof. John Ioannidis, the eminent Professor at the Stanford University, released a list that represents the top 2 per cent of the most-cited scientists in various disciplines in the world. The database was created in collaboration with Elsevier to provide updated analyses and a publicly available database of top scientists The updated databases and code are freely available in Mendeley (https://dx.doi.org/10.17632/btchxktzyw). The database provides standardized information on citations, h-index, co-authorship-adjusted hm-index, citations to papers in different authorship positions, and a composite indicator. Details of the methodology can be retrieved from:
