Fifteen EdUHK scholars were named on Stanford University’s list of the top two per cent most-cited scientists in various disciplines based on their career-long citation impact (until the end of 2019), including President Professor Stephen Cheung Yan-leung, Chair Professor of Public Policy; Ming Ming Chiu, Chair Professor of Analytics and Diversity; Professor Jim Chi-yung, Research Chair Professor of Geography & Environmental Science; and Professor Wong Ming-hung, Advisor (Environmental Science).

In the single year citation category (2019), 18 EdUHK scholars were on the list. This publicly available database of 100,000 top-scientists provides standardised information on citations, h-index, co-authorship adjusted hm-index, citations to papers in different authorship positions and a composite indicator. Scientists are classified into 22 scientific fields and 176 sub-fields.

Congratulations to these scholars from different departments.
