Twenty-four academics from Near East University have been included in the latest results of a Stanford University study that uses Elsevier data to identify scientists in the top 2% for research influence, according to Halkın Sesi.
The Nicosia-based university’s total rose from 18 academics in the previous year to 24 in the latest results, the newspaper reported. The study assesses scientific impact through separate annual and career-long categories, using citations, international research impact and other bibliometric measures.
Near East University recorded 22 entries in the annual-impact category and 11 in the career-long category. That amounts to 33 category entries, as some academics appeared in both assessments.
Prof. Dr. K. Hüsnü Can Başer, Prof. Dr. Fadi Al-Turjman, Prof. Dr. Nadire Çavuş, Prof. Dr. Rahib Hidayat Abiyev, Prof. Dr. Aydın Hassani, Prof. Dr. Youssef Kassem, Prof. Dr. Yasir Waheed, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hijaz Ahmad and Assoc. Prof. Dr. İlker Özşahin were listed in both categories, according to the report.
