[Xinzhiyuan just now Guide2Research] The 2020 ranking of the top 1000 computer scientists in the world has been released. 616 scientists in the United States dominate the list. Over 140 Chinese scholars and 45 Chinese scientists have been selected. Zhang Hongjiang ranks first among scientists in mainland China.
Recently, the 6th edition of Guide2Research's annual ranking of top computer scientists was released! This list has a history of 5 years.
This ranking reviewed various academic indicators of more than 6000 scientists around the world, and selected the top 1,000 scientists. The ranking is based on the Google Scholar H-index indicators collected before May 16th, and also combines DBLP and citation values. (H index needs to be >=40)
The point is here. Among the top 20 people, there are many AI experts, Hinton and Bengio. Among them, there are more than 140 Chinese scholars selected, 45 Chinese scientists selected, and mainland scientists There are 22 people . Compared to 18 years, the total number has doubled!
It should be pointed out that the Guide2Research website is incomplete statistics. There are many scholars whose data is not included, especially those from mainland China. At the same time, the institution of the scholar may be lagging behind. You can contact Guide2Research for update.
5 big statistic facts: 616 scientists in the United States dominate the list, and MIT ranks first.
