As with last year, for what it’s worth, it looks like my name appeared in the list of top 2% scientists worldwide, compiled by John Ioannidis at Stanford University, and available here. It seems that for the year 2023 I’ve been ranked 2633rd across all fields, and 28th in my area (looks a bit too high, perhaps it’s because some Scopus research evaluation tool thinks my main area is Nuclear & Particle Physics rather than Astronomy & Astrophysics), whereas considering my whole career the numbers become 67934th and 1228th respectively. Again, all the caveats highlighted last year apply.
Top 2% scientists (2022 edition)
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!
