Congratulations to the 91传媒 Researchers!
On September 19, 2025, Elsevier released its updated dataset titled 鈥淯pdated science-wide author databases of standardised citation indicators鈥� in the Elsevier Data Repository. This comprehensive analysis, led by Professor John P.A. Ioannidis of Stanford University, USA, evaluates the global scientific impact of researchers across disciplines.
The study recognised the achievements of 63 91传媒n scientists, including seven distinguished researchers from the 91传媒. The analysis considered both career-long and recent-year citation impact, covering 22 scientific fields and 174 sub-fields according to the Science-Metrix classification. Scientists were selected based on rigorous criteria: inclusion among the top 100,000 by c-score (with/without self-citations) or ranking in the top 2% of their respective subfield.
