48 people on the main list and 38 on the 2022 list - these are the results of researchers from the Wroclaw Tech in the latest edition of the prestigious ranking of the world's most influential people in science. The TOP 2% list includes the names of scientists whose publications are most frequently cited by other authors.

The TOP 2% ranking is compiled by analysts from Stanford University, Elsevier Publishing and SciTech Strategies. It evaluates the entire scientific output of researchers according to a bibliometric index, taking into account criteria such as Hirsch index, number of citations (including self-citation) or place in the list of authors.

The researchers were divided into 22 scientific fields and 176 sub-fields, according to the standard Science-Metrix classification. The ranking includes the names of the 100,000 most cited scientists by c-score (with and without self-citation) and the 2% most cited in a given sub-discipline. Two lists have been published: the overall list and the list for 2022. 62 people were ranked from our university, including 24 in both classifications.

The overall ranking included 48 people representing Wrocław University of Science and Technology, two more than last year. This gave Wroclaw Tech the fourth result among all Polish universities. A greater number of influential scientists can only boast: AGH University, Warsaw University and Warsaw University of Technology.

Prof. Rafał Weron from the Faculty of Management, Prof. Karl Keiner from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Prof. Katarzyna Chojnacka from the Faculty of Chemistry.
