Università Mediterranea in the elite of world research
Last October, a group of researchers from Stanford University published the results of an international study that also closely affects the Università Mediterranea.
The article:
Ioannidis J.P.A., Boyack K.W., Baas J., 2020. Updated science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators. PLoS Biol 18 (10): e3000918.

reports a ranking among researchers active in the field of world scientific literature. This ranking is based on citations and the impact of scientific articles derived from the data contained in the Scopus database. The results of this scientific impact, divided by career and by single year of activity, are accessible at the link:

The rankings include both the 100,000 most cited researchers in all sectors of world research, and the 2% percentile of the most cited researchers in their respective research fields (among those who have published at least five scientific articles excluding self-citations from the calculation) .
In both rankings, there are members of the Università Mediterranea. Proff in the ranking articulated by career. Felice Arena, Paolo Boccotti (currently retired), Tommaso Isernia, Andrea Morabito, Carlo Morabito and Domenico Rosaci (Engineering). Also present in the 2019 ranking, in addition to almost all the aforementioned and as evidence of a rapidly growing university on the scientific front, profs. Angelo Maria Giuffrè, Adele Muscolo, Demetrio Antonio Zema (Agraria), Marica Amadeo, Giuseppe Araniti, Claudia Campolo, Giuseppe Failla, Antonella Molinaro, Rosario Morello (Engineering), and Alba Sofi (Architecture).
It is a recognition, based on objective data and of international scope, which gives credit to the work carried out daily by professors, researchers and, more generally, by all components of the University and which enhances the skills acquired and the results produced. in research, making our small but lively academic reality visible in the elite of world research.
