Four University of Cyprus medical academics recognised in international science rankings
George Hadjigeorgiou ranks in the global top 1 per cent, while three University of Cyprus colleagues place in the top 5 per cent.
Nicosia, Cyprus. International rankings have recognised four academics at the University of Cyprus School of Medicine, placing one among the highest-ranked 1 per cent of scientists worldwide and three within the highest-ranked 5 per cent.
Recognition across two rankings
The AD Scientific Index places professor George Hadjigeorgiou in its global top 1 per cent. Associate professors George Nikolopoulos and Panagiotis Zis, together with assistant professor Nikolaos Kadoglou, rank within its top 5 per cent.
A separate distinction for Zis and Kadoglou comes from Stanford University’s World’s Top 2 per cent Scientists list for 2025, which includes both academics under the Single Year Scientific Impact category.
How scientific impact is assessed
The AD Scientific Index draws on data from Google Scholar. Its rankings use the Total H index to evaluate researchers’ scientific output and the influence of their work across their careers.
The Stanford ranking, alternatively called the Ioannidis List, draws on Scopus data and evaluates scientific impact for the latest reference year. Its combined indicator incorporates citation counts, the H index and additional measures, taking account of where each researcher appears in authorship lists.
Medical programme planned for 2027
The university said the honours demonstrated the global reach of research by its academics and their contributions to scientific knowledge.
The distinctions coincide with efforts by the School of Medicine to broaden its international educational presence, including a medical programme taught in English that is scheduled to begin in 2027.
