24 Indian dermatologists, doctors, scientists in Stanford’s 2026 top 2% list

Stanford University's 2026 list of the world's top 2% scientists has recognised 24 Indian dermatologists, doctors and scientists, according to a report by Medical Dialogues. All of them are featured for research in dermatology and venereal diseases. The database is curated by Professor John P.A. Ioannidis of Stanford in collaboration with the Elsevier Data Repository.

Selection is based on the top 100,000 scientists by composite citation score, calculated with and without self-citations, or on a 2% or higher percentile rank within a sub-field. The database also reports h-index values and citation counts by authorship position. Earlier Medical Dialogues reports this year covered ICMR scientists, cardiologists and psychiatrists on the same list.
