Editor's Note – This story has been updated to include UNL researchers who were included in a separate data set or were listed under a different institution name. It also fixes the alignment of one faculty member who was mistakenly listed in the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources.
The University of Nebraska–Lincoln is home to 180 Huskers featured in the 2024 list of the world's most influential researchers.
The Stanford/Elsevier Top 2% Scientists List is a comprehensive analysis of all peer-reviewed papers across scientific disciplines. It measures the significance of the research, including how often each study is cited in the work of other scientists. The publication is the definitive list of research that has made the most significant impact across each field of study.
“This list highlights the exceptional strength of UNL faculty and the transformative impact of their groundbreaking research, both in Nebraska and globally,” said Sherri Jones, interim vice chancellor for research and innovation. “It is a recognition that underscores the significance of our university’s research efforts and serves as a cornerstone for advancing our ambitious vision for the future.”
