Seven Vietnamese named among world’s 10,000 most influential scientists
VOV.VN - Dutch publisher Elsevier recently created a publicly available database made up of the top-cited scientists who provide standardised information on citations, with seven Vietnamese scientists named among the top 10,000.
Le Hoang Son and Nguyen Dinh Duc of Vietnam National University Hanoi were both placed among the top 10,000, ranking 6,982th and 5,657th, respectively.
This is the fifth year the two scientists have been honoured on the list, following their names announced in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022.
Five more Vietnamese scientists were added to the 2023 list, including two Duy Tan University scientists - Tran Nguyen Hai in 6,669th and Hoang Nhat Duc in 5,551st.
Elsewhere, Hoang Anh Tuan of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology was ranked 1,119th, Tran Xuan Bach of Hanoi Medical University was in 3,240th, and Pham Thai Binh of University of Transport Technology was in 4,444th. The three were also named among the world’s most influential scientists.
Meanwhile, 47 other Vietnamese scientists were honoured among 100,000 most-cited researchers, 12 scientists more compared to last year.
The list was compiled by a group of researchers led by John P.A. Ioannidis of Stanford University, using citations from Scopus, an international scientific database.
The rankings make use of Scopus's database which runs from 1960 up to October 2023 in order to find the top 100,000 most influential scientists around the world.
The criteria consist of factors such as the influence index in the scientific world, the total number of citations, the Hirsch h-index, the Schreiber HM-index, the number of citations for articles published as sole author, and the number of citations for articles as the lead and final authors.
