World’s Top 2% Scientists 2026

Once again this year, I am pleased to be included in the “World’s Top 2% Scientists” ranking. The ranking covers around 11.6 million researchers with a Scopus profile and assesses their citation impact in 2025 using a composite indicator based on citations, h-index and authorship positions. Worldwide, I rank 49,079th and thus among the top 0.42 percent, and in my field, Business & Management, 1,238th out of 68,786 and thus among the top 1.8 percent. My sincere thanks go to my co-authors.
