According to the Stanford – Elsevier report, a publicly available database of over 100,000 top-scientists has been created that provides standardized information on citations, h-index, co-authorship adjusted hm-index, citations to papers in different authorship positions and a composite indicator. The selection is based on the top 100,000 by C-scores (number of citations, excluding self-citations) or a percentile rank of 2% or above. Separate data are shown for career-long and, separately, for single recent year impact. Scientists are classified into 22 scientific fields and 174 sub-fields according to the standard Science-Metrix classification. Dr. Bhaskar Singh’s name is in the second list for the third consecutive year in the discipline ‘Energy (sub-field-1)’ and ‘Environment (sub-field-2)’. Dr. Sachin Kumar appeared for the second time on single year impact list in the discipline ‘Energy (sub-field-1)’ and ‘Biotechnology (sub-field-2).
