Dr. Bhaskar Singh is working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Sciences and Dr. Sachin Kumar is working as Assistant Professor in the Department of Energy Engineering, Central University of Jharkhand Ranchi.

Name of both the researchers has been recently featured in the Stanford University’s list of “World’s Top 2% Scientists” published by Elsevier on 10th October 2022 (doi: 10.17632/btchxktzyw.4).

According to the Stanford – Elsevier report, a publicly available database of over 100,000 top-scientists has been created that provides standardized information on citations, h-index, co-authorship adjusted hm-index, citations to papers in different authorship positions and a composite indicator. The selection is based on the top 100,000 by C-scores (number of citations, excluding self-citations) or a percentile rank of 2% or above. 195,605 scientists are included in the career-long database and 200,409 scientists are included in the single recent year dataset. Two lists have been prepared for the top 2% scientists. The first list is based on the career-long data, and the second list is based on a single-year impact. Dr. Bhaskar Singh’s name is in the second list for the second consecutive year in the discipline ‘Energy (sub-field-1)’ and ‘Environment (sub-field-2)’. Dr. Sachin Kumar appeared for the first time on single year impact list in the discipline ‘Energy (sub-field-1)’ and ‘Biotechnology (sub-field-2).
