VNExpress-Oct 26
A recent study published in the American journal PLOS Biology shows 29 Vietnamese academics, all working in Vietnamese universities, are among 100,000 most-cited researchers in the world. Vietnam has five scientists in the top 10,000 in the order of the ranking compiled by professors Jeroen Baas, Kevin Boyack and John P.A. Ioannidis of Stanford University.
The ranking uses citations from Scopus, the international scientific database, in October 2020, and assesses scientists for career-long citation impact up until the end of, and during, 2019.
The authors of the study have created a publicly available database of over 100,000 top scientists with standardized information on citations, h-index (an author-level metric that measures both the productivity and citation impact of the publications), hm-index (the highest number of papers of a researcher that have been cited h or more times), and citations to papers in different authorship positions and a composite indicator.
