ScholarGPS aggregates academic profiles and massive data resources—including research papers, patents, and books—from scholars across all disciplines worldwide. Utilizing data technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data mining, it conducts a comprehensive analysis based on three key metrics: a researcher’s output, influence, and quality of publications. The platform ranks the performance of over 30 million scholars and more than 55,000 institutions across 14 broad fields, 177 disciplines, and over 350,000 specialized topics. It subsequently releases a list of the world’s top 0.05% scientists, which is further categorized into two rankings: Career-Long Impact and Recent Five-Year Impact.
