The SCImago Ranking is one of the most recognized global listings of research institutions, assessing them in terms of research performance, innovation, and societal impact. Detailed results are available here: SCImago Institutions Rankings – ICHB PAN

Eighty scholars affiliated with the Polish Academy of Sciences have been included in the prestigious international Research.com ranking.

The awards are given across 20 fields of science. Among the distinguished researchers is Prof. Ryszard Kierzek from the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry PAS, who ranked 30th nationwide in chemistry (and 9109th globally) – congratulations!

The listing is based on the D-index (discipline-specific H-index), which reflects publication output in a given field as well as citation impact. Data were sourced from the OpenAlex and CrossRef databases.

The ranking is updated annually and also includes late scholars who were long associated with the Academy and remain an enduring part of its scientific heritage. Their works continue to be widely cited and form the foundation for future generations of researchers. From our Institute, a special place belongs to the late Prof. Włodzimierz Krzyżosiak, who ranked 4th in Poland in genetics (3080th globally).
