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. The Stanford list includes 1593 Taiwanese researchers from different disciplines. Figure 1 represents the highly-ranking researchers in Taiwan according to world rankings.
In order to rank the institutes of Taiwan, we calculate the number of researchers from the respective institute in the Stanford list. Figure 2 represents the institute ranking.
Apart from institutions, the subject is also an important criterion for analyzing Taiwan’s performance. Figure 3 represents the important subject selected by the researchers.
