Asanka Sanjeewa are ranked among World鈥檚 Top 2% Scientists in the 2021 List of outstanding researchers prepared by Elsevier BV, Stanford University, USA.

Only 3 USJ scientists were in this list for year 2020, and for year 2201 USJ scientist number has increased to 5. Prof. Meththika Vithanage, Dr. Anushka U, Rajapaksha, and Prof. Neelika Malavige made it again to this year 2021 list from 2020 list.

In this career-long database and single year dataset, considered 195,605 scientists and 200,409 scientists respectively from 22 scientific fields and 176 subfields.

The use of citation metrics has become widespread, but challenges relate to what citations and related metrics fundamentally mean and how they can be interpreted or misinterpreted as a measure of impact or excellence. Many other problems are of a technical nature and reflect a lack of standardization and accuracy on various fronts. Since there is no large-scale database that systematically ranks all the most-cited scientists in each and every scientific field to a sufficient ranking depth. Moreover, self-citations are not excluded from the existing rankings. However, as with all other ranking systems, there can be negatives in this particular ranking system, though it has been recognized throughout the world.
