The Meta Research Innovation Center at Stanford (METRICS), Stanford University in collaboration with SciTech Strategies Inc. and the Research Intelligence division of Elsevier Inc. generates an annual database of standardized citation metrics across all scientists and scientific disciplines in the world. Stanford University analysis was conducted using Elsevier Scopus abstract and citation database. Scopus is used by the academic community, governments and funding agencies, and by industry research and development organizations to find relevant and authoritative peer-reviewed research. The study is a database that ranks global researchers in 22 scientific fields and 176 sub-fields. This database calculates a standardized composite citation index providing an annually updated assessment for all scientists’ impact in their field of research. Scientific research is critical to help us navigate this ever-changing world, which is why research is a key pillar of our university. The latest list of the top 2% scientists worldwide in all discipline along with the methodology for calculating the standardized composite citation index was published in Plos Biology Journal on Oct. 10th, 2022, with the name of Professor Shery Jacob, Professor of Pharmaceutics in the College of Pharmacy. Professor Jacob published more than 55 Scopus-indexed publications in the field of Pharmacy & Pharmacology as per the Science-Matrix Classification. His Scopus h-index is 20 with a total 1319 citations at the end of November 2022. In addition, his Google Scholar h-index is 24 with a total 5396 citations for 82 Google Scholar-indexed publications.
Prof. Khalifa, Dean – College of Pharmacy and Vice-Chancellor for Quality Assurance & Global Engagement commented: “Research has always been at the forefront of our planning and a major part of our mission at Gulf Medical University. We are proud of our faculty who are role models for their students. Our strategic approach to research in all of our degree programs is expected to produce graduates who will progress in their career to become clinician scientists. What a great way to advance pharmacy education and practice!”.
