This list, published by Professor Loannidis' team at Stanford University and Mendeley Data of Elsevier, is based on the Scopus database and scored using metrics for six key factors: 1) citations; 2) HirschH-index; 3) co-authorship adjusted Hm-index; 4) independent authorship; 5) independent or first authorship; and 6) citations to papers in different authorship positions. The world's top 2% scientists were selected from more than 8.5 million researchers worldwide. Scientists were classified into 22 scientific fields and 176 sub-fields, and 200,409 scientists were included across all fields.

The list is divided into two main categories: "Career-long Scientific Impact Ranking" and "Single Recent Year Scientific Impact Ranking", which correspond to two periods of 1960-2022 and 2022, respectively. The list is not intended to be a ranking of scholars, but rather an exploration of the status of scientific research from the perspective of scientists, providing a measure of scientists' long-term scientific performance in the hope of reflecting their impact more objectively and realistically. Inclusion in the list means that the scholar has a high global influence in his or her research field.
