A research group from Stanford University in California (USA), led by Professor John Ioannidis, published a study on citation indicators in science, ranking about 160,000 of the world's most cited scientists across all fields of science, including the most cited 2 percent in particular disciplines.
The study used data from Scopus database that measures the impact of scientists by the end of 2019. The study, which classifies scientists into 22 fields and 176 disciplines, analyzed citations from 1996 to 2019 and it relies on a complex model using six standardized criteria of scientific productivity.

The study published two lists: one of the most influential scientists regarding their entire careers and another of the most influential scientists in 2019. On the first list, scientists from the University of Split are: Frano Barbir (Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Naval Architecture), Antonio Munjiza (Faculty of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Geodesy), Ana Marušić (Faculty of Medicine), Vlasta Bonačić-Koutecky (STIM-REI Center), Ognjen Bonacci (Faculty of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Geodesy), Damir Vukičević (Faculty of Science), Mladen Miloš (Faculty of Chemistry and Technology), Matko Marušić (Faculty of Medicine), Igor Jerković (Faculty of Chemistry and Technology) and Dragan Poljak (Faculty of Electrical Engineering and shipbuilding).

The list of the most influential scientists for 2019 includes: Antonio Munjiza (Faculty of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Geodesy), Frano Barbir (Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Naval Architecture), Ana Marušić (Faculty of Medicine), Ognjen Bonacci (Faculty of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Geodesy) , Sandro Nižetić (Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Naval Architecture), Damir Vukičević (Faculty of Science) and Igor Jerković (Faculty of Chemistry and Technology).

Congratulations to all our scientists!
