The World's Top 2% Scientists List by the University of Stanford, USA and includes the impact of scientific work in the last year and also throughout the career, in which NOVA registered an increase of 37.5 per cent.

This World's Top 2% Scientists List is supported by Scopus, an international database of scientific articles and their citations in a variety of types, from journals to academic journals, and is also based on more precise standardised citation metrics to combat self-citation abuses. The number of citations allows, therefore, to evaluate the impact and the consolidated influence of a given researcher or institution in the progress of scientific knowledge.
