Which institute in Slovakia has the most Top 2% scientists?
On the 2020 career-long list, Slovak Academy of Sciences has the most listed scientists from Slovakia, with 12. It is followed by Comenius University with 7.
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?
