About the ranking
ScholarGPS is a platform that ranks the contributions of scholars across multiple disciplines and evaluates them based on their publication output, citation impact, and h-index (quality), reflecting the quality and impact of their research. The data used to identify the Highly Ranked Scholars is based on lifetime or prior five-year activity, weighting each publication and citation by the number of authors, and excluding self-citations.
