The latest list of the world's most influential scientists, created annually by scientists from Stanford University, was recently published by Elsevier, a Netherlands-based publishing company specializing in scientific, technical and medical content.

The ranking was made in the two categories of “career-long impact” and “annual impact”. While creating the list, international criteria such as the number of high-quality publications, the impact of the journal in which the publications are published, the number of patents, the number of citations, h-index, hm-index, the number of articles, the number of cited articles and the impact of the journal in which they were published were used.

In the list where the publications of 2020 are ranked according to these criteria, a total of 190,063 scientists were evaluated in the "annual impact" category. While 1,150 scientists from Turkey were included in the list of the most influential scientists in the world, 50 names from ITU were included.
