The National Research Center came in first place with 100 researchers, then Cairo University came in second place with 76 researchers, then Ain Shams University came in third place with 58 researchers, followed by Al-Azhar University with 42 researchers.

Dr. Fajr Abdel Gawad, Acting Head of the Center, congratulated the researchers included in the list of the top 2% of the world’s most cited scientists, expressing her appreciation for the scientists who contributed through their pioneering and distinguished research to reaching this position, pointing out the criteria on which the classification was based to include researchers worldwide in this list, which are based on the number of citations to research published by these scientists, the index of the number of publications whose author was cited by other authors at least the same number of times (H-Index), the modified HM index for co-authorship, citations to research papers in different authorship positions, and a composite index (C-Score).
