The publicly accessible database ranks the world's top-cited scientists and provides an important indicator of impact.

The list is based on citations from 2022 updated 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. Scientists are ranked based on Scopus data, with the top 100,000 or those in the top 2% of their field included.

Across the University of York, over 150 scientists are featured.
