Editorial Board Members from the Journal of Sensor and Actuator Networks Featured Among the World’s Top 2% Scientists in 2024

Researchers from Stanford University have recently published an update of the list of the top 2% most widely cited scientists—the World’s Top 2% Scientists.

The statistical data informing these rankings covers the period from 1960 to 2024, and the data are divided into two lists: “Lifetime Scientific Influence Ranking” and “2024 Annual Scientific Influence Ranking”. The “Lifetime Scientific Influence Ranking” calculates the comprehensive influence of scientists during their careers, and the “2024 Annual Influence Ranking” highlights the academic influence of scientists in the previous year. The World's Top 2% Scientists rankings, considered the most prestigious worldwide, is based on bibliometric information contained in the Scopus database and includes more than 200,000 researchers out of more than 10 million scientists considered active worldwide, with 22 scientific fields and 174 sub-fields taken into account.

We are pleased to share that 28 Editorial Board Members from the Journal of Sensor and Actuator Networks (JSAN, ISSN: 2224-2708) were featured as the World’s Top 2% Scientists in 2024.
