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 2025 I’ve been ranked 1164th across all fields, and 13th 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 31224th and 523rd respectively. Again, all the caveats highlighted previously apply.
