The report identifies elite researchers who are tackling some of the world’s most significant challenges. This year’s list includes 26 Nobel laureates and recognises 6,400 researchers across 21 fields.

Of the world’s population of scientists and social scientists, Highly Cited Researchers represent one in 1,000.

In November, 81 Pakistani academics figured in the list of the world’s top 2 per cent scientists in a global list issued by the United States’ Stanford University.

The global list, compiled by Prof John Ioannidis and his team, carries names of 159,683 people from all scientific disciplines.

As many as 11 teachers of Islamabad’s Quaid-i-Azam University (QAU) have figured among the top 2 per cent researchers. Five scientists from the University of Haripur (UoH), including its vice chancellor, are also included in the list.

The QAU academics whose names have appeared in the list include Prof Bilal Haider Abbasi of Biotechnology, Zabta Khan Shinwari and Mushtaq Ahmad of Plant Sciences, Amir Ali Shah of Microbiology and Riffle Nasim Malik of Environment Sciences.

The other names include Rashid Khan of Biochemistry, Masood Khan of Mathematics, Afzal Shah and Aamer Saeed of Chemistry and Abdul Haq of Statistics.
