NUU Scholars Recognized in Stanford–Elsevier’s World’s Top 2% Scientists Rankings
A total of 14 scholars from National United University (NUU) have been recognized in the 2026 edition of the World’s Top 2% Scientists rankings, released on October 7, 2026. Based on citation data from Scopus, the rankings were compiled by a research team at Stanford University and published through Elsevier. Among the NUU scholars, 13 were included in the Career-Long Scientific Impact ranking (1960–2025), while four were named to the Single-Year Scientific Impact ranking. Three scholars appeared on both lists, bringing the total number of distinct NUU scholars recognized to 14. Their achievements highlight the university’s sustained research contributions in engineering, information technology, materials science, energy, environmental studies, and related fields.
The 13 NUU scholars included in the Career-Long Scientific Impact ranking are listed below by department:
Department of Information Management: Professor Chen Chen-Tung

The World’s Top 2% Scientists rankings were developed by a research team at Stanford University, with the relevant data published through Elsevier. Based on the Scopus database, the rankings assess researchers’ citation impact using multiple indicators, including total citations, the H-index, the co-authorship-adjusted hm-index, and citation counts for papers according to authorship position. The rankings comprise two categories: Career-Long Scientific Impact and Single-Year Scientific Impact, reflecting researchers’ long-term and recent academic influence, respectively.
NUU has long focused on research in engineering and technology, electrical and electronic engineering, information applications, energy and materials science, and environmental sustainability. The university continues to promote interdisciplinary research, industry–academia collaboration, and international academic exchange. The recognition of 14 NUU scholars in these international rankings not only celebrates their individual academic achievements but also demonstrates the university’s research strength and competitiveness on the international stage.
