This recognition is based on a publicly available database of over 96,17,763 top scientists, which includes standardized information on citations, h-index, citations to papers in various authorship positions, and a composite indicator.

According to the standard Science-Metrix classification, scientists are classified into 22 scientific fields and 174 sub-fields. Field- and subfield-specific percentiles are also provided for all scientists with at least five papers. Career-long data are updated to end-of-2022 and single recent year data pertain to citations received during the calendar year 2022. The selection is based on the top 100,000 scientists by c-score (with and without self-citations) or a percentile rank of 2% or above in the sub-field.

The c-score focuses on impact (citations) rather than productivity (number of publications), and it also incorporates information on co-authorship and author positions (single, first, last author).

Jamia Millia Islamia continues to strive for excellence in research and education, and including its researchers in Stanford University's esteemed list is a testament to its commitment to fostering scholarly achievements on a global scale.
