A few months ago, I celebrated 5 years since my first scientific publication – the time it took for me to get listed in the Stanford University‘s database of top 2% scientists! To be honest, I’ve missed this list, but given the growing number of LinkedIn posts on it, I decided to take a look at it and after browsing it for a while, decided – just out of curiosity – to check myself – can you imagine the level of my surprise? – all in all, quite surprised and honored, of course!

I recognize that this is just a single year category for 2022, it is about sub-fields (Artificial Intelligence – do not really get how Scopus knows this, given that although I am dealing with this topic, I do not much publish on it, Information Systems, Information & Communication Technologies) same as I realize that citation metrics-based evaluations is  not the best approach to assessing the impact and quality of research & researcher (although this database not only acknowledges, but also tries to tackle this issue to some extent), but for me it is still an achievement that makes this day special!

You might want to check out this list by Ioannidis and John (2023) and maybe it will make your day as well!
