31 UoH researchers in Stanford-Elsevier top scientists list
Thirty-one researchers from the University of Hyderabad (UoH) have been named in the 2026 Stanford-Elsevier database of highly cited researchers, known as the world's top 2% scientists list, the university announced on Sunday, 11 October. UoH ranked third among central universities, after Banaras Hindu University and the University of Delhi, and 18th among India's top 20 institutions, according to the university.
Of the 31, 25 are on the career-long list measuring cumulative citations through 2025, and 18 on the single-year list for 2025, with 12 appearing on both. The School of Chemistry and the School of Life Sciences each contributed nine researchers. The database, prepared by Stanford University's John Ioannidis using Elsevier's Scopus data, selects researchers among the top 100,000 by composite citation score or the top 2% in their subfield.
Indian Opinion Analysis

Neither outlet frames the achievement critically or politically. The uniform coverage reflects a straightforward announcement with no competing narratives. The next update, based on Scopus records for 2026, will determine if UoH's position improves.
