For what it’s worth, it looks like my name appeared in the list of top 2% scientists worldwide. The list was compiled by John Ioannidis at Stanford University and can be found here. It appears that for the year 2022 I’ve been ranked 6461st across all fields, and 65th in my area, whereas considering my whole career the numbers become 102993rd and 1929th respectively. Kind of cool, although these numbers really don’t mean anything (I’m one of those whose thinks the FIFA ranking doesn’t mean anything, else Belgium would have won a couple of World Cups already, so let alone ranking scientists!) and should really be taken with a lot of salt!
