NOVA University with 86 Researchers Among the Most Cited in the World

24 de September, 2024

NOVA University Lisbon continues to stand out in the global research scene, with 86 of its researchers included in the latest edition of Stanford University’s prestigious “World’s Top 2% Scientists Ranking“. published annually. 

This ranking, based on the Scopus database, lists the top 2% of the world’s most cited scientists across 22 scientific fields and 174 sub-fields, highlighting the influence and impact of academic research.
This year, NOVA shows a significant increase in the number of listed researchers, with 86 recognised, compared to 78 last year – a 10% increase. This growth reflects the university’s upward trajectory, with the number of NOVA researchers in the ranking nearly tripling over the past three years, further solidifying its position in the global scientific landscape. 

The updated list includes two distinct categories: one that accounts for career-long citations and another that focuses on citations from the last year (2023). In both categories, NOVA presents researchers from almost all of its schools, reinforcing its commitment to scientific excellence and innovation. 

This international recognition is yet another testament to the quality and impact of the research conducted at NOVA, which continues to establish itself as a reference in the global academic arena.
