76 researchers from the various organic units of NOVA University Lisbon have their names in the lists of the most cited worldwide in different areas of investigation, from exact sciences to humanities.
Coordinated by the University of Stanford, and published in the specialized scientific publisher Elsevier, the ranking identified about 200 thousand scientists from all over the world in 22 scientific areas and 176 disciplines, having evaluated the impact of the research done in 2021 and also throughout the career.
This World's Top 2% Scientists List is supported by Scopus, an international database of scientific articles and their citations in a variety of types, from journals to academic journals, and is also based on more precise standardised citation metrics to combat self-citation abuses. The number of citations allows, therefore, to evaluate the impact and the consolidated influence of a given researcher or institution in the progress of scientific knowledge.
In the case of NOVA researchers, a total of 44 saw their names included in the list of career-long citations this year (registering an increase of 37.5 per cent in relation to the 32 included in last year's list). This list includes the following names: M. M. Chaves (ITQB NOVA), Miguel C. Seabra (NMS|FCM), Douglas W. McKee (FCT NOVA), Luis M.
