The study for the selection of the Top 2% was conducted by a team of scientists and experts led by Prof John Ioannidis, the eminent Professor at Stanford University. This list, which was created by analysing a group of over 100,000 scientists, has classified 22 scientific fields and 176 subfield features.  It contains a publicly available database of 100,000 top scientists that provides standardized information on citations, h-index, co-authorship-adjusted hm-index, citations to papers in different authorship positions, and a composite indicator.

UTAR congratulates all the six academics on this significant and excellent achievement. Being at the forefront of quality research and development has always been UTAR’s focus and vision. The University has nine endowed chairs in key research areas since 2009, 35 research centres, more than 130 industry advisors, and close to 500 international partners including the UTAR Global Research Network which serves as a platform for networking and exchanges.

UTAR is proud of the recognition given to our academics and researchers and the University will continue to pursue further growth in R&D and its activities.
