Faculty members of the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) in Chandigarh have been listed as part of the top 2 per cent of scientists in the world, according to a subject-wise analysis conducted by Stanford University, USA.

The university published a database of 100,000 top-cited scientists that provides standardized information on citations, h-index, co-authorship adjusted hm-index, citations to papers in different authorship positions, and a composite indicator (c-score).

Scientists are classified into 22 scientific fields and 174 sub-fields according to the standard science-metrix classification. The selection is based on the top 100,000 scientists by c-score (with and without self-citations) or a percentile rank of 2% or above in the sub-field. Calculations were performed using all Scopus author profiles as of October 1, 2023.

“Excellence is a result of resilience, experience, knowledge, and critical thinking. I am proud of the fact that faculty members of the Institute have the power to rise above any situation and deliver the best results no matter whatever the circumstances are,” said Dr Vivek Lal, Director, PGIMER, Chandigarh, congratulating the scientists and their co-workers for the hardwork.
