October 25, 2023

The LSRE-LCM research group is proud to announce that several of its researchers have been included in the “World’s Top 2% Scientists list” released by Standford University (USA). Covering a total of 22 areas and 174 scientific disciplines, this list published by the prestigious publisher Elsevier presents a restricted selection of scientists considered active, whose work has accelerated progress in their areas, also influencing the work productivity of other researchers.

LSRE-LCM members included in the list for the single calendar year of 2022 citation impact are (alphabetically ordered): Adrián Silva, Alírio E. Rodrigues, Ana Rita Ribeiro, Cláudia Silva, Fernando Pereira, José Luís Figueiredo, José Órfão, Vítor Vilar.

LSRE-LCM members included in the list for career-long citation impact up until the end of 2022 are (alphabetically ordered): Adrián Silva, Alírio E. Rodrigues, Eugénia Macedo, Fernando Pereira, Joaquim Faria, José Luís Figueiredo, José Órfão, Rui Boaventura, Vítor Vilar.

Congrats to all the researchers for their work as top-level scientists!
