This is the eighth version of the report, which earlier versions were published in October 2024, October 2023, November 2022, October 2022, October 2021, October 2020 and July 2019.<\/p>\n<p>The study covers more than 6 million researchers over 22 scientific fields and 174 sub-fields. The research team has created a database of the top 2% of world scientists (over 100,000 scientists) on the basis of standardised citation indicators, including information on citations, an individual\u2019s scientific research output or H-index, co-authorship, and a composite indicator for career-long impact.<\/p>\n<p>Four ESI staff are ranked in the \u201cEnergy\u201d field (with 343,396 scientists in total), and one ESI staff in the \u201cMechanical Engineering &amp; Transports\u201d field (with 150,568 scientists in total). The details of their C-scores and rankings for career-long citation impact till end-of-2024 and for citation impact during a single calendar year 2024 are given in the graphic attached.<\/p>\n<p><img
