63 Lankan scientists recognised for their research, 7 from Sri Jayewardenepura University
View(s):An international study has recognised the achievements of 63 Lankan scientists.
The achievements have been highlighted in the analysis released in its updated dataset titled “Updated science-wide author databases of standardised citation indicators” in the Elsevier Data Repository.
This comprehensive analysis, led by Professor John P A Ioannidis of Stanford University, USA, evaluates the global scientific impact of researchers across disciplines.
The study recognised the achievements of 63 Lankan scientists, including 7 researchers from the University of Sri Jayewardenepura.
The analysis considered both career-long and recent-year citation impact, covering 22 scientific fields and 174 sub-fields according to the Science-Metrix classification. Scientists were selected based on rigorous criteria: inclusion among the top 100,000 by c-score (with/without self-citations) or ranking in the top 2% of their respective subfield.
Seven USJ researchers were named to the World’s Top 2% Scientists list (based on Scopus data). They are: Meththika Suharshini Vithanage, Anushka Upamali Rajapaksha, Nuwan Gunaratne, K K Asanka Sanjeewa, Kasun M Thambugala, Dimuthu S Manamgoda, and Anusha Hasini Ekanayaka.
Four of these researchers are from the Faculty of Applied Sciences, one from the Faculty of Technology, one from the Faculty of Management Studies and Commerce, and one from the Faculty of Urban and Aquatic Bioresources.
“Including seven USJ researchers in the prestigious top 2% scientists list is a proud moment for the university and Sri Lanka. It recognises the excellence of our research and the dedication of our scholars. I thank them all for contributing to our university’s global research ranking,” Vice Chancellor Senior Prof Pathmalal M Manage said.
