Two Computer Science Faculty Members Earn a Spot among the Top 2% Most Influential Scientists in the World

30 Oct 2023

MIU Faculty of Computer Science proudly announces that two of its faculty members, Prof. Eslam Amer and Associate Prof. Diaa Salama, have been named among the top 2% most widely cited scientists globally, according to the esteemed 2023 Stanford University Ranking (USA).

Stanford Ranking includes over 160,000 researchers from more than 8 million active academics worldwide, spanning across 22 scientific fields and 176 subfields. The list relies on Scopus data provided by Elsevier. The evaluation is based on a composite indicator known as the c-score, which takes into account several factors, including the number of citations a scientist has received, the h-index, and field-normalized citation impact. The c-score is designed to be a more comprehensive measure of scientific impact compared to conventional metrics, such as the total number of citations.

This is a remarkable achievement for Prof. Amer and Associate Prof. Salama, and it is a testament to their outstanding research contributions and the high quality of work being undertaken at the Faculty of Computer Science, MIU. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to them both for this thoroughly well-deserved recognition.
