Prof. Antonio Lieto included in the 2026 Stanford List of Top 2% Scientists for the “career-long” impact

Prof. Antonio Lieto, director of the CIIT LAB, has been included in the 2026 World Top 2% Scientists list by Stanford University (USA) and Elsevier.

While he was already listed in the 2025 Stanford list, for the specific impact in that academic year, this time he is listed in the “career-long” list, that takes into account the overall scientific impact considering the data of the entire career compared to the ones of the other reserarchers of the field.

The World’s Top 2% Scientists ranks the top 2% of researchers in the world out of a total of over 200,000 names. The list highlights the world’s most influential scientists, ranking them based on their scientific impact, in terms of number of articles/publications and citations in their respective research areas.

The analysis examines 22 scientific areas and 174 subcategories, collecting data from Scopus and evaluating researchers’ scientific performance based on standardized indicators (citations, h-index, hm-index adjusted for co-authorship, citations in articles in different authorship positions, and c-score composition indicator).
