A Top 2% Researcher at the JSNN

Congratulations to Dr. Yirong Mo, Professor and Chair in the Department of Nanoscience, for being recognized as a highly cited author.  In a report released last month by Elsevier, based on data from Scopus, the Dutch publisher’s abstract and citation database, Dr. Mo appeared in the top 2% of cited authors across all scientific, technical, and medical subdisciplines.  The database indicates that Dr. Mo has published 176 papers, and these publications have been cited more than 5600 times, excluding self-citations.  Significantly, the ranking is based on a composite citation index (c-score) that focuses on impact (citations) rather than productivity (number of publications) and incorporates information on co-authorship and other parameters analyzed by Elsevier’s International Center for the Study of Research.  The full report and data set can be accessed using the following link:
