Ahmad Dahlan University lecturer, Prof. Tole Sutikno, has again achieved a proud achievement by being selected as one of Stanford/Elsevier’s Top 2% Scientists, according to a ranking released on September 16, 2024. This recognition is clear evidence of Prof. Tole’s contribution to the academic world, both in the single year ranking and all year ranking categories, which assess the impact throughout his academic career.
In the single year ranking category, Prof. Tole is ranked 327th, based on data from Scopus collected on August 1, 2024, covering citation data until the end of 2023. The single year ranking assesses the impact of scientists based on the number of citations obtained in the past year, providing an overview of the scientist’s contribution over a more specific time period.
Of the 150 Indonesian scientists listed in this category, Prof. Tole also made it into the top 40 Indonesian researchers in the all year ranking category, which calculates the cumulative impact of a researcher’s long career. All year ranking, on the other hand, assesses the performance of scientists throughout their academic careers, by calculating the cumulative number of citations obtained from various published scientific works. This provides recognition of the overall impact made by a researcher throughout his/her long career in academia.
