96 scholars from Faculty of Engineering are listed as the world’s top 2% most-cited scientists by Stanford University in its recently updated science-wide author database, while 5 of them are ranked among the top 100 by subfield. This recognition manifests the substantial impacts of the research accomplished by the Faculty members, and hence their research strengths worldwide. Among the 96 Engineering professors of CUHK, 74 of them are on the career-long ranking list, and 78 are on the list of the single-year impacts in 2024, while 56 of them are ranked on both career-long list and single-year list. The ranking in the database is based on various indicators, for instance the number of citations they received, their individuals’ scientific research output, and citations to papers in different authorship positions. Published by Stanford University in September 2025, the “Updated science-wide author databases of standardised citation indicators”, widely known as “World’s Top 2% Scientists”, is a database of the top 100,000 scientists or top 2% scientists in respective fields across the world based on indicators including their career-long citation impact and single-year citation impact in 2024.
