Citation Rankings
Highly Cited Researchers
Robert Gordon University Highly Cited Researchers CitationEngineering & Technology / Computer Science Rankings 2025
Citation Rankings (Highly Cited Researchers) and the list of the most cited and influential researchers cover a wide range of scientific fields, spanning 197 main and sub-disciplines, as well as the Art and Humanities Citation Rankings and Social Sciences and Humanities Citation Rankings, offering a unique service. Additionally, the list without CERN, Statistical Data, etc., provided exclusively by “AD Scientific Index”, is part of our effort to balance the situation created by CERN and researchers with statistical data, who have an advantage over others, especially those in the social and humanities fields. There should be new regulations for multi-author and CERN papers. Citation lists also reveal many rule violations and unethical practices.
