A group of researchers from Stanford University has updated the database of authors with standardized citation indicators and published the results for 2023. This list includes the most cited scientists from all fields of science. Among them, once again this year, are our four colleagues from the Institute for Biological Research "Siniša Stanković," Dr. Marina Soković, Dr. Jasmina Glamočlija, and Dr. Marija Ivanov, associates of the Department of Plant Physiology, and Dr. Marko Prokić, associete of the Department of Physiology.

The list of the most influential scientists was created to assess the impact of scientists and their work from several different perspectives. The authors of the list used data from the Scopus database, which contains over 8 million authors, and compiled a list of the most cited authors across 22 scientific fields and 174 subfields. The database of the most cited scientists provides standardized information on citations, the h-index, co-authorship, citations of papers at different authorship positions, and a composite indicator (c-score). Separate data are presented for career-long impact and single recent year impact. Metrics are shown with and without self-citations, as well as the ratio of citations to citing papers. Information is also provided on retracted papers (based on the Retraction Watch database) and citations to/from retracted papers.

The calculations were performed by processing author profile data in Scopus as of August 1, 2024. The authors of this list emphasize that the published version reflects the author profiles in the Scopus database at the time of calculation and advise authors to regularly check and update their profiles in Scopus.
