Published on 27 May 2026

The international academic website Research.com has updated its rankings of the world’s leading scientists across various disciplines, with 10 scholars from Beijing Normal-Hong Kong Baptist University (BNBU) making the list.

Drawing on internationally renowned academic literature databases, Research.com compiles statistics on the number of papers published and citations received by scholars within a specific discipline. It also takes into account the proportion of contributions made by scholars within that discipline, as well as the awards and academic achievements they have attained in related fields. The rankings cover more than twenty disciplines, including Business and Management, Computer Science, and Electronic and Electrical Engineering.
