It is thrilled to share that four Engineering scholars have been named on the Highly Cited Researchers 2024 list released by Clarivate Analytics and 84 Engineering professors are listed as the world’s top 2% most-cited scientists by Stanford University in its recently updated science-wide author database. This recognition evinces the substantial impacts of the research accomplished by the Faculty members.
Professor Heng Pheng-ann from Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Professor Martin Stolterfoht, Professor Xu Jianbin and Professor Wong Ching-ping from Department of Electronic Engineering have been named on the Highly Cited Researchers 2024 list. Released this year on 19 November by Clarivate Analytics, this yearly list recognises researchers who have made significant impacts in their fields. The recognition is based on the publication of multiple papers that rank within the top 1% globally in citations over the past decade. The full list of "Highly Cited Researchers 2024" can be found at: https://clarivate.com/highly-cited-researchers/.

84 Engineering professors are listed as the world’s top 2% most-cited scientists by Stanford University in its recently updated science-wide author database, while 6 of them are ranked among the top 100 in their respective fields. This recognition manifests the substantial impacts of the research accomplished by the Faculty members, and hence their research strengths worldwide.
Published by Stanford University in September 2024, the “Updated science-wide author databases of standardised citation indicators” (version 7) is a database of the top 100,000 scientists or top 2% scientists in respective fields across the world based on indicators including their career-long citation impact and single-year citation impact in 2023.
Among the 84 Engineering professors of CUHK, 64 of them are on the career-long ranking list, and 69 are on the list of the single-year impacts in 2023, while 49 of them are ranked on both career-long list and single-year list. The ranking in the database is based on various indicators, for instance the number of citations they received, their individuals’ scientific research output, and citations to papers in different authorship positions.
More details of the database could be found at August 2024 data-update for "Updated science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators".
