Recently, Stanford University, in collaboration with Elsevier, officially released the 2025 "World's Top 2% Scientists" list. Based on authoritative citation data from the Scopus database, the list evaluates nearly 7 million scientific researchers worldwide using key indicators such as total citations, h-index, co-authorship-adjusted hm-index, and citation metrics for single-author and first-author papers. It identifies top-tier scientists with outstanding academic influence. The evaluation system is widely recognized by the international academic community for its scientific rigor and objectivity, serving as an important benchmark for measuring scientists' academic prowess and contributions to their fields.

In this year's selection, the School of Physical Science and Technology at Central China Normal University (CCNU) achieved remarkable results—Professors Wang Xinnian, Qin Guangyou, Ding Hengtong, Luo Xiaofeng, Yu Ying, and Pang Longgang were successfully included in the "Career-Wide Impact List." Among them, Professors Wang Xinnian, Luo Xiaofeng, and Yu Ying further secured places in the "Lifetime Scientific Impact List," recognizing their long-term, profound contributions to their respective fields. The six professors have dedicated their research to areas such as particle physics, nuclear physics, and condensed matter physics, consistently producing internationally competitive innovative achievements in recent years. Their selection not only reflects their individual academic strengths but also highlights the school's profound expertise and international influence in these disciplines.

The inclusion of multiple faculty members in this global list of top scientists is a significant outcome of the school's recent efforts to strengthen research team building and encourage original innovation. It also fully demonstrates the competitiveness of the school's research capabilities on the international stage. This breakthrough will further inspire the enthusiasm for scientific research among all faculty and students, inject new momentum into the university's "Double First-Class" initiative, and contribute to scaling new heights in high-level talent cultivation and cutting-edge scientific innovation.
