Three AIIMS Bathinda Doctors Listed in Stanford-Elsevier Top 2% Scientists

The All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Bathinda says three of its doctors have been included in the World's Top 2% Scientists list compiled by Stanford University with Elsevier. The doctors named are Paramdeep Singh in radiology, Madhur Verma in community and family medicine, and Mintu Pal in pharmacology. The ranking uses Scopus data and a composite citation indicator called the c-score, and it weighs research output, citation indices and wider academic influence. Ratan Gupta, who leads the institute, said the recognition was a matter of pride for the institute, Punjab and the country.

For Indian hospitals and medical colleges, the list is one published measure of research influence. Its method draws on citation impact and weighs several parameters, including research output and wider academic influence.
