A total of twenty scientists from the Faculty of Science were included in the prestigious ranking of the top two percent of the world’s most cited scientists, published by Stanford University in collaboration with Elsevier. The published data show how scientists were doing throughout their careers and what their results were last year.
The published data show that seventeen experts from the Faculty of Science succeeded in the “career-long” category among 204,643 scientists. Prof Jaromír Fiurášek from the Department of Optics ranked the best. Next were Radim Bělohlávek, Miroslav Strnad, Pavel Pospíšil, Dušan Lazár, Zdeněk Hradil, Radim Filip, Zdeněk Dvořák, Anatolij Dvurečenskij, Aleš Lebeda, Tomáš Opatrný, Karel Weidinger, Zdeněk Bouchal, Petr Smýkal, Jozef Šamaj, Aleš Panáček, and Jan Peřina.
In the “single year” category (citation feedback for 2022 only), there are sixteen Faculty of Science representatives among the 210,198 scientists. The most successful was Prof Pavel Pospíšil from the Department of Biophysics. Next were Miroslav Strnad, Radim Bělohlávek, Dušan Lazár, Jaromír Fiurášek, Aleš Panáček, Petr Smýkal, Zdeněk Hradil, Radim Filip, Zdeněk Dvořák, Libor Kvítek, Aleš Lebeda, Anatolij Dvurečenskij, Zdeněk Bouchal, Robin Kundrata, and Jan Peřina.
The rankings divide scientists into 22 scientific disciplines and 174 subdisciplines. The public database provides standardised information on e.g. total citations, citations without self-citations, h-index, co‑authorship-adjusted hm-index, citations of articles in different authorship positions, and a composite indicator (c-score).
