World Ranking of Twenty Faculty Staff of the Agricultural University of Athens at 2% of the Top Scientists
It is certainly, noteworthy that twenty (20) Faculty Staff of the Agricultural University of Athens have been ranked amongst the Top Scientists throughout the world for another consecutive year, according to the recent Ranking of the Bibliometric Study of Baas J, Boyack K, Ioannidis JPA., (2021) by Stanford University, based on the Scopus database of the International Publishing House Elsevier and published on the 19th of October 2021, entitled: “Updated science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators” (https://elsevier.digitalcommonsdata.com/datasets/btchxktzyw/3), comprising an update of the List, which represents the Top 2 per cent of the most-cited Scientists in various disciplines.
To become more specific, such a List is released annually, ranking the impact and appeal of the scientific work of more than 8.000.000 Scientists and Researchers across the world, classifying them into 22 major scientific fields and 176 sub-fields. Besides, all the Scientists who are ranked among the top 100.000 worldwide, are included in that List, coming from all the scientific fields, as well as the 2% of the Scientists featuring exceptional performance in their scientific sub-field. In addition, separate data are shown for career-long and single year impact, whereas career-long data are updated to end-of-2020, presenting separate metrics, as far as the total impact of the published research work of the distinguished Scientists is concerned.
Undoubtedly, this great distinction certifies the internationally recognised research of high quality level, which is carried out at the Agricultural University of Athens, making the Institution emerge as a special and unique Hub of Creativity and Innovation.
