Forty-five School of Civil & Environmental Engineering current and past researchers appear on the latest Stanford-Elsevier lists of the world’s most-cited scholars. For so many of our staff to be included on this prestigious list is a powerful testament to the reach and impact of the research taking place at the School.

Stanford’s list focuses on impact (citations) rather than productivity (number of publications), although numbers of paper are also provided. The final selection is based on the world’s top-cited 100,000 scientists by a composite score (with and without self-citations) or a percentile rank of 2% or above in the researcher’s primary sub-field.

Separate lists are created for career-long (up to end of 2022) and for single recent year (2022) impact.

The School is well represented in each list, with both long serving professorial staff and exciting emerging researchers featured.

39 CVEN researchers in top 2% most-cited scholars globally, based on 2022 citations.

About the Stanford list:
Stanford University’s citation analysis uses multiple citation and publication metrics based on the bibliometric information in the Scopus database. It also incorporates information on co-authorship and author positions (single, first, last author). The work uses Scopus data provided by Elsevier through ICSR Lab.

The latest list updated in October 2023 includes more than 200,000 researchers from around the world (out of about 9 million scientists), classified into 22 scientific fields and 174 sub-fields according to the standard Science-Metrix classification. A primary field of research is allocated to each researcher.
