Professor David Chan and Professor Lily Kong Ranked Top 1% of their Field in the World

In a global study by Stanford University, 15 SMU scholars have been ranked among the top two percent of scientists in the world. Amongst them, two professors from School of Social Sciences have emerged in the top 1% of their field.

In the Stanford study, Dr John P. A. Ioannidis of Stanford University and his research team used data from Scopus and created a database of 100,000 top-scientists that provides standardized information on citations, an individual’s scientific productivity and impact or h-index, co-authorship adjusted hm-index, citations to papers in different authorship positions and a composite indicator. The scientists are classified into 22 scientific fields and 176 sub-fields. Separate data are shown for career-long (until 2019) and single year impact.
