The Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) has 40 researchers ranked among the top-cited scientists in the world, according to the publishing company Elsevier. The database, developed jointly with Stanford University, provides standardized information on citations and other impact indexes. Two lists are available: one based on career-long data, and the other based on single recent year data (2022). There are 28 researchers from UFSC cited in the first list and 26 in the second list – 14 are present in the two lists.

The databases can be accessed here.

In both lists, UFSC is the eighth Brazilian institution in the number of researchers cited and the fourth among Brazilian federal universities.

Scientists are classified into 22 scientific fields and 174 sub-fields according to the standard Science-Metrix classification. Career-long data are updated to end-of-2022 and single recent year data pertain to citations received during calendar year 2022. The current version is based on the 1 October 2023 snapshot from Scopus, updated to end of citation year 2022. The work uses Scopus data provided by Elsevier through  ICSR Lab.
