On March 27^th, Elsevier released the 2023 “Highly Cited Chinese Researchers”list. A total of 23 scholars from USTB were selected for the list, an increase of one compared with 2022, and 9 of these disciplines are in the first level of China SCADC Subject Categories. Among them, there are 9 scholars from Materials Science and Engineering, 6 from Metallurgical Engineering, 2 from Physics, and 1 in Mechanical Engineering, Management Science and Engineering, Control Science and Engineering, Chemistry, Information and Communication Engineering, Power Engineering, and Engineering Thermophysics.

The “Highly Cited Chinese Researchers" list mainly counts institutions in China (Mainland) sign authors whose results of scientific research were published in the Scopus database, and whose current workplace is in China (including non-Chinese and ethnic Chinese scholars). The results of scientific research published by scholars as the first author or corresponding author are counted. The results of scientific research are classified by the Scopus - Ministry of Education first-level subject classification system. The number of scholars listed in each discipline is related to the number of authors signed by Chinese institutions in Scopus. Scholars in this list require three conditions: more than one indexed document (not include one indexed document), the total number of citations reaches the threshold of the discipline, and at least have one of the world's top 1% most cited documents or to be as the first author or the corresponding author's FWIC (Field-Weighted Citation Impact) is above 1.
