28 AMBER Researchers on Elsevier/Stanford University World’s Top 2% Scientists Ranking for career long impact.
Scientists are classified into 22 scientific fields and 174 sub-fields according to the standard Science-Metrix classification. Field- and subfield-specific percentiles are also provided for all scientists with at least 5 papers. Career-long data are updated to end-of-2024 and single recent year data pertain to citations received during calendar year 2024. The selection is based on the top 100,000 scientists by c-score (with and without self-citations) or a percentile rank of 2% or above in the sub-field. This version (7) is based on the August 1, 2025 snapshot from Scopus, updated to end of citation year 2024. This work uses Scopus data. Calculations were performed using all Scopus author profiles as of August 1, 2025.
This years list features AMBER researchers from across 6 institutional partners:
And from 6 discipline fields of; Engineering, Chemistry, Clinical Medicine, Agriculture, Fisheries & Forestry, Enabling & Strategic Technologies and Physics & Astronomy, demonstrating the breadth and importance of our research work in advanced materials and bioengineering.
