The ranking is compiled annually based on an analysis of the scientometric indicators of over 12 million researchers whose publications are indexed in Scopus and reflects the impact that each individual researcher has had on the development of science.
A separate ranking has been compiled to assess the impact on scientific development over the previous year. It includes further 10 scientists and members of BAS who do not feature in the overall development ranking. Thus, across both rankings, the total number of scientists associated with the BAS is 74.
