In 2019, researchers from Stanford University (Ioannidis et al. 2019) published a ranking of the world's most-cited scholars. This was highly acclaimed for its methodology and scope because it combined various citation indicators calculated based on data from Scopus (Elsevier).
In the most recent edition, the freely accessible, comprehensive dataset of the Stanford study shows which scholars are among the top 2% of each individual scientific field in terms of citations for 22 disciplines with 176 subfields. The study takes into account the fact that citation densities can vary considerably between individual disciplines.
IntCDC Director Achim Menges is ranked as the second most cited researcher in architecture worldwide by this study. Congratulations for this remarkable achievement, which shows the global visibility of research conducted in the field of architecture and the built environment at the University of Stuttgart.
