What are extended values?

The database is not yet complete for disciplines relying on conferences and books.

extended values cover more materials other than journal articles but not exhaustive. The other values are limited to peer-reviewed articles only. However, we never count abstracts, patents, working papers, or unpublished documents.

top superscripts indicate the percentile among 4.9 million authors. rank refers to the rank rounded to 1,000 (K) or 1,000,000 (M).

rankings refers to the number of categories in which the author has been ranked.

Institutions

What is the basis of rankings?

most cited author: sum of citations of the author

most cited paper: citations of a single paper

Is everything ranked?

To avoid high rankings for small journals, certain thresholds should be met for inclusion.
