The ranking is prepared by Stanford University in cooperation with scientific publisher Elsevier BV and SciTech Strategies, Inc. It was compiled based on the scientific output of individual researchers, collected in the Scopus database. Researchers were evaluated on the basis of such bibliometric criteria as total number of citations, Hirsch index, co-authorship-adjusted Schreiber index, position and role of the author among the co-authors of the publication (first, last place) or number of articles, among others.
