Mario Piattini, Scientific Director of AQCLab, is once again among the best researchers in the world according to the latest update (September 2022) of the ranking "Updated science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators" prepared by John Ioannidis and co-authors from Stanford University (USA).

This ranking is based on the analysis of Scopus data regarding scientific production, taking into account a set of standardized information on citations, h-index, co-authorship adjusted hm-index, citations to papers in different authorship positions and a composite indicator (c-score). The c-score focuses on impact (citations) rather than productivity (number of publications). The list includes all scientists who are among the top 2% in each of the research fields, according to the composite citation index.
