Stanford University's updated 2024 World's Top 2% Scientists ranking includes 13 Novosibirsk State University scientists (full-time and part-time employees who indicate their affiliation with NSU in their publications). The ranking annually analyzes their citation impact and scientific activity to identify the most influential researchers in their fields.
The ranking represents the top 2% of the world's most cited scientists according to the Scopus/Elsevier core. The composite c-score indicator takes into account the total number of citations, the h-index, the hm-index adjusted for co-authorship, and the order of co-authors. The ranking was compiled without taking into account self-citations and was based on standardized indicators for each field of science.
Citation impact was assessed across 22 research areas and 174 sections according to the standard Science-Metrix classification. The work of millions of researchers worldwide was analyzed; the ranking contains a list of over 230,000 scientists. Impact indicators were calculated for the scientist's entire career and for the past year. Many NSU part-time researchers are listed in the ranking as employees of SB RAS institutes; therefore, the NSU list could have been significantly broader.
The 2024 ranking for the entire career of a scientist included (as representatives of NSU):
Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Alexander Evgenievich Bondar (ranking position 55645, h=137)
Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Viktor Sergeevich Fadin (85813, h=43)
Candidate of Geological and Mineralogical Sciences Inna Yuryevna Safonova (103141, h=39)
Doctor of Chemical Sciences Nina Pavlovna Gritsan (140135, h=41)
Candidate of Chemical Sciences Valery Anatolyevich Drebushchak (183029, h=27)
Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Sergei Mikhailovich Kobtsev (185063, h=33)
Doctor of Technical Sciences Boris Yakovlevich Ryabko (198418, h=18)
Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Evgeny Anatolyevich Chinnov (229872, h=19)
The 2024 ranking for the last year included NSU scientists:
Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Alexander Evgenievich Bondar (75433)
Candidate of Geological and Mineralogical Sciences Inna Yuryevna Safonova (81272)
Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Sergei Mikhailovich Kobtsev (137508)
Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Viktor Sergeevich Fadin (160114)
Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Georgy Ivanovich Lazorenko (168833, h=21)
Candidate of Chemical Sciences Valery Anatolyevich Drebushchak (175640)
Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Valery Yakovlevich Rudyak (192143, h=29)
Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Dmitry Vladimirovich Churkin (213402, h=39)
Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Alexander Vladimirovich Dostovalov (233554, h=25)
Doctor of Biological Sciences Mikhail Georgievich Sergeev (235200, h=10)
The first two positions from NSU in the ranking for the entire career of a scientist are occupied by former deans Faculty of Physics of NSU Alexander Evgenievich Bondar (2010–2020) and Viktor Sergeevich Fadin (1993–1998).
Alexander Evgenievich Bondar is a renowned specialist in high-energy and elementary particle physics, having made significant contributions to the development of experimental methods. He proposed and successfully implemented a spectrometer at the VEPP-4M with unique energy resolution for recording scattered electrons, and developed a method for creating electromagnetic calorimeters based on cesium iodide crystals.
Viktor Sergeevich Fadin is a leading specialist in theoretical physics. He studied a number of quantum electrodynamic processes experimentally observed in colliding electron-positron beams and discovered and investigated the coherence effect in the emission of soft gluons in quantum chromodynamics.
Inna Yuryevna Safonova is a renowned expert in geotectonics, geochemistry, and geochronology. Her research focuses on the geology and tectonics of the Central Asian Fold Belt, the evolution of ancient oceans and mantle magmatism, isotope geochronology, and the geochemistry and isotopy of oceanic, island-arc, and intraplate igneous rocks.
Nina Pavlovna Gritsan is a leading specialist in the field of studying the mechanisms of photochemical transformations of organic compounds using experimental spectroscopic methods and theoretical quantum chemical calculations.
Valery Anatolyevich Drebushchak – Associate Professor of the Department of Solid State Chemistry Faculty of Natural Sciences of NSU, a specialist in the field of thermal analysis in solid state chemistry.
Sergey Mikhailovich Kobtsev is the head of the Department of Laser Physics and Innovative Technologies at NSU and an expert in photonics, fiber optics, and nonlinear optics. He is an honorary member and distinguished reviewer of the International Optical Society (OSA).
Boris Yakovlevich Ryabko's research interests lie in applied mathematics, information theory, cryptography, and mathematical biology. He is one of the world's leading experts in information theory.
Evgeny Anatolyevich Chinnov is a specialist in the field of heat exchange processes, two-phase flows, film flows, micro- and nanostructured surfaces.
Over the past five years, the scale of NSU's in-house research activities has grown to a level comparable to its educational activities, and science and research are now the university's second core activity. One indicator confirming this is the high publication activity of NSU scientists. Thus, by the end of 2024, more than 1,760 publications had been published in SCOPUS journals, more than 1,300 in Web of Science, and more than 1,970 in the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI). Moreover, the share of publications in the most prestigious and highly ranked scientific journals (Q1 and Q2 SCOPUS) was approximately 60%. The number of citations in SCOPUS reached almost 2,000. Importantly, since 2018, the number of NSU's own publications (without co-authorship with employees of SB RAS research institutes) has increased by 30%, and now they account for approximately 20% of the total number of publications with NSU participation. The inclusion of 13 NSU researchers on the list of the world's most highly cited scientists demonstrates that NSU is working in cutting-edge areas and at a high international level, commented NSU Rector and RAS Academician Mikhail Fedoruk.
