The complete list comprises 7100 entries and thus around 0.1 percent of scientists worldwide. The company scrutinized 21 subject areas from the fields of medicine, natural sciences, economics and social sciences. In its analysis, it looked at publications that were published between 2012 and 2022 and are listed in relevant databases. More about the survey method here.
