“Research has been an integral part of L V Prasad Eye Institute since inception, and LVPEI has over 3600 publications to its credit. It is heartening to see that scientists from LVPEI are listed among the top eye researchers worldwide. I congratulate everyone on the global eye researchers list,” said Dr Gullapalli N Rao. 

This database of top-cited scientists has been created by a team of scientists at Stanford University, USA, and Elsevier BV, a Netherlands-based publishing company. According to the Stanford – Elsevier report published last week, the rank is based on the top 100,000 by C-scores (number of citations, excluding self-citations) or a percentile rank of 2% or above. It includes scientists spread over 22 fields and 176 sub-fields across all disciplines.
