Professor Eric Knight (Executive Dean, Macquarie Business School) says that this reflects the high calibre of researchers that sits within the Business School “For ten of our academics to feature in the top 2% highly cited researchers worldwide, is exemplary of our academics quality of work and dedication to their field of expertise and research. These academics showcases the breadth of knowledge and research areas that MQBS cultivates.”

Stanford University published a paper in the journal PloS Biology outlining a new way to rank academics by citations and other metrics. The new method produced a database of over 100,000 top academics across multiple fields worldwide. This database includes the top 2 percent of academics across the world from different fields on the basis of standardised citation indications. These include information on the number of citations, H -Index, co-authorship and a composite indicator. The data all come from Elsevier’s proprietary Scopus database.
