More than 80 UNT researchers across disciplines were included in the annual and career rankings of the world’s most cited researchers. Among them, 33 faculty members are from the College of Engineering.

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering had the most professors named on the lists from a single department at UNT, with a dozen on the career list and 16 on the annual list.

In the latest lists, 41 UNT researchers were among the top 2% of more than six million scientists worldwide within their specialty areas throughout their careers and within a single year. An additional 24 researchers appeared on the career-spanning rankings, while another 20 made the 2024 annual list

The ranking method is based on standardized citation metrics developed by a group of scientists led by John P.A. Ioannidis, a statistician at Stanford University.
