Top 2% scientists (2024 edition)

As with last year, for what it’s worth, it looks like my name appeared in the list of top 2% scientists worldwide, compiled by John Ioannidis at Stanford University, and available here. It seems that for the year 2024 I’ve been ranked 1546th across all fields, and 14th in my area (again looks quite high, perhaps it’s because some Scopus research evaluation tool thinks my main area is Nuclear & Particle Physics rather than Astronomy & Astrophysics), whereas considering my whole career the numbers become 43884th and 749th respectively. Again, all the caveats highlighted previously apply.
