The world’s top 2% of most important scientists across all fields have been updated in a new list issued by Stanford University [1]. Based on bibliometric data from the Scopus database, this list is widely regarded as the most renowned of its kind. It is prepared by Prof. John PA Loannidis and his colleagues at Stanford University [2]. In this article, we will focus on Taiwanese researchers who play an important role in global development and innovation.   Figure 1 and Figure 2 represent the analysis according to the countries.
