The Stanford List “science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators” is an annual analysis and ranking of researchers globally, developed by researchers at Stanford University in collaboration with Elsevier. QS publishes its main ranking annually in June, with specialized lists for specific subjects and regions following throughout the year. The ranking focuses primarily on research and academic achievements, with a strong emphasis on factors such as the number of published articles, citations, Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals linked to the university. Every year, Research.com publishes lists of the top researchers in various disciplines worldwide. Top American universities that serve as gateways to leadership could both broaden access and strengthen meritocratic norms in admissions by focusing more heavily on indicators of academic potential and reducing preferences that primarily track family income.
