Every year, Scopus Institute and Stanford University announce the top 2% of the world's scientists, and nine faculty members of Kermanshah Medical School are included in the latest list. The list includes scientists whose research and articles have had a high impact and received several citations by other researchers. It is prepared in collaboration with Stanford University professors using Scopus database.
The procedure of this ranking is based on a series of scientific indicators that include the number of references, the number of published articles, and other indicators. In this evaluation, scientists are categorized based on different specializations and disciplines (for example, engineering, medical sciences, computer sciences, etc.). The purpose of this ranking is to identify people who not only have high scientific productions, but whose research has had a significant impact on the scientific community.
