More than five dozen 51ΑΤΖζ scientists have been recognized as being among the top 2% of researchers in the world in 2024, according to a new ranking.

β€œOur faculty are leaders in their fields, and this report highlights the global influence 51ΑΤΖζ researchers have on the creation of new knowledge,” 51ΑΤΖζ Chancellor Thomas Gibson said. β€œAcross disciplines, our scholars are advancing discoveries, shaping the future of research, and improving lives through their findings. I am extremely proud of the work they do every day.”

The list ranks researchers by how often their work is cited in other scientific publications, giving a gauge of their impact on their respective fields. The rankings are drawn of the world’s top researchers.

In addition to the 2024 ranking, Stanford-Elsevier also ranks scientists on their impact over the course of their careers. On that list, 84 51ΑΤΖζ researchers ranked among the top 2%.

Here are the current and former 51ΑΤΖζ researchers included in each list:
