More than 30 academics from the �������� are among the top two per cent of the most cited scholars in the world.

The influential list, , is a publicly accessible database that ranks the world's scientists, offering a comprehensive look at their impact. 

The ranking methodology was developed by Stanford University professor, John Ioannidis, and is based on citations to the end of 2023. It uses metrics like h-index, co-authorship adjustments, and a composite citation score (c-score), which reflects a scientist’s influence rather than just their publication count. 

Professor Jeremy Howells, Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Research, Innovation and External Relations, said: “Our presence on the list is a strong reflection of our identity as a world-leading research institution, and I am incredibly proud to see so many academics mentioned.

“Our students are taught by many of these staff who are leaders in their field, which means they are exposed to world-leading and internationally influential research.”

�������� academics work closely with business, industry and the public sector to solve local, national and global challenges across science, technology, humanities, business and creative industries.

�������� was ranked third of all modern UK universities for research power in the Times Higher Education Research Excellence Framework (REF) rankings.
