The UP Faculty of Science (UP FS) has improved its position in the prestigious ranking of the two percent of the world’s most cited scientists, compiled by Stanford University in collaboration with Elsevier. While last year the ranking included two dozen scientists from UP FS, this year there are four more. The ranking is based on how the researchers perform throughout their careers and what their results were last year.
In the “career long” category (citations during one’s whole career), 21 representatives from UP FS, who have listed Palacký University as their affiliation, were among 217,097 scientists from around the world. The highest ranked is Prof Jaromír Fiurášek from the Department of Optics. He is followed by Radim Bělohlávek, Miroslav Strnad, Pavel Pospíšil, Dušan Lazár, Zdeněk Hradil, Radim Filip, Zdeněk Dvořák, Jan Peřina, Aleš Lebeda, Anatolij Dvurečenskij, Zdeněk Bouchal, Petr Smýkal, Karel Weidinger, Tomáš Opatrný, Jozef Šamaj, Viktor Brabec, Ondřej Novák, Ondřej Šráček, Aleš Panáček, and Lutfun Nahar.
In the “single year” category (citations in 2023 only), 19 experts from UP FS were among the 223,152 scientists. Prof Pavel Pospíšil from the Department of Biophysics did the best. The others were Radim Bělohlávek, Miroslav Strnad, Ondřej Novák, Lutfun Nahar, Jaromír Fiurášek, Petr Smýkal, Dušan Lazár, Zdeněk Dvořák, Danuše Tarkowská, Zdeněk Hradil, Aleš Panáček, Viktor Brabec, Radim Filip, Jozef Šamaj, Aleš Lebeda, Zdeněk Bouchal, Jana Kašpárková, and Robin Kundrata.
The public database provides standardised information on e.g. total citations, citations without self-citations, h-index, co-authorship-adjusted hm-index, citations of articles in different author positions, and composite indicator (c-score). Read more here.
