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

On the 2021 career-long list, Slovak Academy of Sciences has the most listed scientists from Slovakia, with 12. It is followed by Univerzita Komenského v Bratislave with 12.

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

On the career-long list, Slovakia went from 46 scientists in 2020 to 70 in 2021, a change of +52.2%.

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.
