Four UFCJC Faculty Included in 2024 Stanford Top 2% Scientists List
Four University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications faculty have been included in the 2024 Stanford University Top 2% Scientists List that shows which scientists have had the biggest impact in their fields. The list was developed by Stanford in collaboration with Elsevier, a global information analytics company.
UFCJC faculty Sylvia Chan-Olmsted, Linjuan Rita Men, Frank Waddell and Kun Xu were among the more than 600 UF scholars named to this year’s list.
The list aims to provide a standardized way to recognize scientists who have made a significant impact on their respective fields. It draws from a variety of citation metrics, such as the h-index, co-authorship and adjusted citation counts, to ensure fair and balanced representation of researchers. The list is updated annually, with career-long data and single-year impacts for transparency and current relevance.
According to Stanford University, “Being listed among the top 2% of scientists is a prestigious recognition of one’s contributions to science. It signifies global recognition for research excellence, often boosting a scientist’s reputation in academia and industry. Such recognition can lead to increased opportunities for funding, collaborations, and speaking engagements at international conferences.”
