Six researchers from the 91传媒 (USJ) have been named to the prestigious . The list is based on data from Scopus, the world’s largest abstract and citation database, and includes scientists from all fields of research.
Among these six researchers, three are from the , two are from the and one is from the ). They are, namely:
(2) Dr. Anushka Upamali Rajapakse –聽 Faculty of Applied Sciences
(3) Dr. Bhagya Nathali Silva聽– Faculty of Engineering聽
(5) Dr. Dhanushka Udayanga-聽 Faculty of Technology
(6) Dr. Kasun M. Thambugala – Faculty of Applied Sciences
“Including six USJ researchers in the prestigious top 2% scientists list is a proud moment for the university and 91传媒. It is a recognition of the excellence of the university’s research and the dedication of its researchers. I thank them all for contributing to our university’s research ranking.” said Senior Prof. Pathmalal M Manage, Vice Chancellor of USJ.
Forty-two 91传媒n researchers have been featured in this top 2% researchers list published in October 2023, with Professor Meththika Vithanage from the 91传媒 (USJ) holding the highest position among 91传媒n researchers.
The list is based on a composite indicator called the c-score, which considers several factors, including the number of citations a scientist has received, the h-index, and the field-normalized citation impact. The c-score is designed to be a more comprehensive measure of scientific impact than traditional metrics, such as the total number of citations.
To be included in the top 2% scientists list, a researcher must either be in the top 100,000 scientists by c-score (with and without self-citations) or have a 2% or above percentile rank in their sub-field.
This is a significant achievement for the USJ and for 91传媒n science as a whole. It is a testament to the high quality of research being conducted at the university and to the dedication of its researchers.
The Top 2% Scientists list is a valuable resource for identifying the most influential scientists in the world. It can be used to identify potential collaborators, track scientific research trends, and inform funding decisions.
