The Stanford ranking is based on a composite citation index (c) that excludes self-citations and considers the position of researchers in the authorship of papers, with emphasis on single, first and last authorship. The same index including self-citations is provided for comparison. The c-scores have been calculated for the period 1996-2020 (career) and also for the year 2020 alone (single year). The full database is available at Mendeley Data (Elsevier).
Now, as far as my scientific route is concerned, it is greatly encouraged to realize that I have been included in the World’s Top 2% Scientists 2021 list, specifically within the top 1.16% of Industrial Engineering & Automation field of research.
