Frequently asked questions

How many scientists from Poland are in the 2022 Stanford Top 2% list?

1,046 scientists affiliated with Poland are on the 2022 single-year list, and 1,006 are on the career-long list.

Which institute in Poland has the most Top 2% scientists?

On the 2022 career-long list, University of Warsaw has the most listed scientists from Poland, with 57. It is followed by AGH University of Science and Technology with 54.

How has the number of Top 2% scientists in Poland changed since 2020?

What is the difference between the single-year and career-long lists?

The single-year list ranks scientists on the citations their work received in one year. The career-long list ranks them on citations across their whole career. Both lists are published every year, and a scientist can be on one, both or neither.

What is the official source of this data?

The rankings come from the science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators published by Ioannidis et al. in the Elsevier Data Repository, updated every year. TOPSCINET, an independent platform, organises that data by country, year, institute and field, so you can compare and explore it.
