On October 4, 2023, Elsevier released an updated dataset titled “Updated Science-Wide Author Databases of Standardized Citation Indicators.” This comprehensive analysis was conducted by a team of experts led by Professor from Stanford University in the USA. Notably, the study recognized the achievements of 50 Sri Lankan scientists, including eight ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ researchers. The analysis presented separate datasets for career-long and recent-year impact metrics, classifying scientists into 22 scientific fields and 174 sub-fields, as per the standard Science-Metrix classification. The career-long data were updated to include information up to the end of 2022, while the recent-year data specifically covered citations received during the calendar year 2022. The selection criteria were stringent: scientists had to either rank among the top 100,000 by c-score (with and without self-citations) or achieve a percentile rank of 2% or higher within their respective sub-field.
In the list of the top 2% scientists for the single year 2022, Emeritus Professor Kamini Mendis, Emeritus Professor , Professor , Professor , Professor , Professor , and Dr were included. Also, Emeritus Professor Kamini Mendis, Emeritus Professor , Emeritus Professor Saroj Jayasinghe, Professor Senaka Rajapakse, and Professor Nadira D. Karunaweera were part of the Career-long top 2% scientists list.
