AD’s Top 100 Scientists in Thailand 2021!

The AD Scientific Index (Alper-Doger Scientific Index) is a ranking and analysis system based on the scientific performance and the added value of the scientific productivity of individual scientists. Furthermore, it provides rankings of institutions based on the scientific characteristics of affiliated scientists.

This new index using the total and last 5 years’ values of the i10 index, h-index, and citation scores in Google Scholar. In addition, the ratio of the last 5 years’ value to the total value of the abovementioned indexes is used. Using a total of nine parameters, the “AD Scientific Index” shows the ranking of an individual scientist by 12 subjects (Agriculture & Forestry, Arts, Design and Architecture, Business & Management, Economics & Econometrics, Education, Engineering & Technology, History, Philosophy, Theology, Law / Law and Legal Studies, Medical and Health Sciences, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, and Others), 256 branches, 11,700 institutions of employment, 186 countries, 11 regions (Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Latin America, Oceania, Arab League, EECA, BRICS, USAN, and COMESA) and in the world. The “AD Scientific Index” is the first and only study that shows the total and the last five-year productivity coefficients of scientists based on the h-index and i10 index scores and citations in Google Scholar. In other words, the “AD Scientific Index” provides both the academic ranking and analysis results.

One of the major differences of the AD Scientific Index is the provision of the last five years’ scores and the total scores of the h-index and the i10 index, and the total and last five years’ number of citations. Other unique differences of the AD Scientific Index include rankings in all fields and subjects of scientific interest and the emphasis on the scientific productivity of the scientist. Thus, scientists and universities can obtain their academic rankings and monitor developments in the ranking over time.

AD is an independent organization that does not receive support from any institution, organization, country, or fund. Your contributions will shed light on us in our constant efforts while aiming the best for software improvements, data size, and accuracy.

The lists shown below are Thailand Top 100 Scientists 2021 from Mahidol University!

Congratulations!

THE World University Rankings 2021 (Clinical & Health)

Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University ranked no. 126 – 150 (tied) in Times Higher Education’s World Best University 2021 in Clinical and Health (the top spot of Thailand’s Medical Schools!).

The Times Higher Education World University Rankings have been highlighting the work of world-class universities since 2004. The THE rankings are arguably the world’s most prestigious and widely referenced university league tables, covered and reproduced by media around the world. Featured institutions benefit from this global exposure with tens of millions of page views every year. The data we compile to produce these rankings are trusted by governments and universities and are a vital resource for students when they are making decisions about where to study. Since 2015, the THE have expanded the range of rankings we produce to spotlight and measure the diverse missions of universities, including teaching and impact.

The clinical and health subject uses the same trusted and rigorous performance indicators as the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2021, but the methodology has been recalibrated to suit the individual fields. It highlights the universities that are leading across medicine, dentistry and other health subjects. This year’s table includes 856 universities, up from 775 last year. The University of Oxford leads the table for the 10th consecutive year, while Harvard, Cambridge, Imperial College London, and Stanford still complete the top five. Sweden’s Karolinska Institute features in the top 10 for the first time since 2017, while Columbia University drops out of the group, falling five places to 15th. Canada’s McMaster University is the biggest climber in the top 80, rising 15 places to joint 11th. It shares the position with Australia’s University of Melbourne, which improves by three places. China’s Zhejiang University and the Netherlands’ Wageningen University & Research have also made significant gains and join the top 100 this year.

Congratulations!
