In October 2023, the distinguished Elsevier Institute released its list of the top 2% most highly-cited authors worldwide for the year 2022, utilizing standardized citation metrics. To create this list, a database of the top 2% highly-cited researchers across all scientific disciplines was assembled, employing a composite index based on six criteria, derived from Scopus data.
The 2022 list, which was published in 2023, features researchers primarily engaged in civil engineering, arranged according to their earned points. In total, 30 Iranian researchers have earned positions on this list, with the universities of Science and technology, Semnan, and Ferdowsi Mashhad each contributing three representatives.
