Top 2% Scientists List 2025: Our Distinguished Editorial Board | Part 2

The second part of the Top 2% Scientists List 2025 continues to celebrate outstanding researchers from around the globe, emphasizing their contributions across diverse scientific disciplines. This edition highlights additional scholars who have demonstrated remarkable impact through innovative research, leadership in academic communities, and international collaborations.
Our editorial board, composed of distinguished experts, ensures that these selections reflect not only citation metrics but also meaningful contributions to advancing knowledge. Many of these scientists are active contributors to REAPress journals, including AAA, AHSE, ANOWA, APEM, ADB, CAA, CETI, FBS, ISTI, and IMOS, expanding the reach of this recognition.
The updated methodology relies on the comprehensive analysis of scientific publications across multiple fields and subfields, utilizing citations, co-authorship networks, and H-index scores, in collaboration with Elsevier’s Scopus and Stanford University. This ensures that the list is both rigorous and representative of true scholarly influence.
By acknowledging these additional top researchers, REAPress reinforces its commitment to fostering innovation, collaboration, and academic excellence. This edition not only honors their achievements but also provides a reliable reference for students, institutions, and fellow researchers seeking mentorship, collaboration, and inspiration.
