On October 4, 2023, Stanford University released the sixth edition of the "Top 2% of the World's Top Scientists" list, covering the "World's top 2% of Influential Scientists"in2022. The definitive list was compiled by Professor John P. A. Ioannidis' team at Stanford University in collaboration with Elsevier's Mendeley Data. Based on the Scopus database, they carefully selected scientists with world-class academic influence through various comprehensive indicators such as the number of citations, H-factor, coauthor-adjusted HM factor, and paper citations of different author positions, covering 22 fields and 174 fine molecule fields.
Note: This work was done using Scopus data provided by Elsevier through the ICSR laboratory. This version is the sixth edition and includes all Scopus author profiles up until October 1, 2023 (career impact based on paper data prior to 2022, annual impact based on paper data from 2022). The composite indicator (c-score) focuses on influence (citations) rather than output (number of publications) and includes information on co-authors and author positions (independent, first, last). Details of the indicator calculation can be found in three papers published by Professor John P. A. Ioannidis’ team in PLoS Biology. In total, there are 204,643 scholars included in the “career impact” list of top scientists and 210,198 scholars included in the “annual impact” list of top scientists. If a scholar is not listed, it means their composite indicator value did not reach the threshold, but it does not imply that their work is not outstanding.
Professor Marcus Taft, a specially appointed professor atCenter forCognitive Scienceof Languageat Beijing Languageand CultureUniversity, has been listed in the top 2% of global scholars in both the “career impact” and “annual impact” rankings.
The following is a summary ofthe list ofChinese scholarsin the field of “Psychology & Cognitive Sciences” for both “career impact” and “annual impact”. Scholars inthis filedneed to meet the criteria of engaging in both subfields of psychology and cognitive science.
First,there isthe list of the top 2% of Chinese scholars in terms of “career impact”, which includes a total of 19 scholarsfrom Chinese Mainland,Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Next,we presentthe list of the top 2% of Chinese scholars in terms of“annual impact”, which includes a total of 35 scholars from Two Banks and Three places of China.
Being recognized in the “Career Impact” and “Annual Impact” categories signifies that Professor Marcus Taft has achieved high international influence and made outstanding contributions in the field of Language and Cognitive Science. This accomplishment not only acknowledges the individual’s research abilities but also demonstrates the significant achievements ofCenter for the Cognitive Science of Languageat Beijing Language and Culture University in building a high-level international research team and contributing to its international academic influence. The center aims to foster interdisciplinary innovation in language and cognitive science, promoting research cooperation and academic exchanges to produce research outcomes with significant international impact.
Center for the Cognitive Science of Language will continue to strengthen its efforts in building an international scholar team, attracting top talent from around the world, and facilitating the cooperation between international experts and the core research team to form a high-level international research team, carry out high-level cooperative research and high-quality academic exchanges, and obtain a number of scientific research results with significant international impact.
