Six University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications (UFCJC) faculty have been included in the 2025 Stanford University/Elsevier Top 2% Scientists List that shows which scientists have had the biggest impact in their fields. The list was developed by Stanford in collaboration with Elsevier, a global information analytics company.

UFCJC faculty Yu-Hao Lee, Haoran “Chris” Chu, Linjuan Rita Men, Frank Waddell, Kun Xu and Professor Emeritus Sylvia Chan-Olmsted were among the 316 UF scholars named to this year’s list.

This prestigious list highlights the world’s leading scientists who have made a substantial impact in their respective fields through their citation influence. For researchers, institutions, and science enthusiasts alike, this is a vital resource to recognize excellence and track cutting-edge scientific contributions.

The list aims to provide a standardized way to recognize scientists who have made a significant impact on their respective fields. It draws from a variety of citation metrics, such as the h-index, co-authorship and adjusted citation counts, to ensure fair and balanced representation of researchers. The list is updated annually, with career-long data and single-year impacts for transparency and current relevance.

Men, Waddell, Xu and Chan-Olmsted were also included on the prestigious 2024 list and UFCJC Executive Associate Dean Spiro Kiosis was featured in the 2023 list.
