World Scientist and University Rankings 2023

World Scientist and University Medical and Health Sciences / Neuroscience Rankings 2023

AD Scientific Index analyzes academic studies from 103 countries, 1539 universities/institutions, and 8.120 scientists by using H index, i10 index and citation count criteria to present results to be used for the evaluation of productivity and efficiency by individuals and institutions. In addition to the ranking by "total H-index", you can also see the ranking and analysis by "last 6 years H-index", "total i10 index", "last 6 years i10 index", "total citations", and “last 6 years citations”. Please see the methodology for "Limitations and Possible Reasons for Not Including a Scientist in this List". Click for individual or institutional registration.
