近日，爱思唯尔（Elsevier）出版集团与上海软科教育信息咨询有限公司（Shanghai Ranking Consultancy）合作，发表了“2014年中国高被引学者（Most Cited Chinese Researchers）”榜单。
爱思唯尔集团专注于前沿科技与医学信息，旗下拥有《柳叶刀》《细胞》等2200多种期刊。Scopus和ScienceDirect等在线服务也是其旗下产品。Scopus业已成为全球最大的同行评议学术论文索引摘要数据库，收录出版商达5000余家，期刊21000种，文献索引5500余万条。这次的2014年中国高被引学者榜单，即是利用Scopus数据库，基于论文引用数遴选而成。
榜单制作者从Scopus中筛选来自中国大陆机构的论文作者，统计他们在不同学科之间的分布，并按总数 2000 人计算出各学科的名额分配，随后在各个学科按相应名额筛选出作为通讯作者或第一作者发表的论文被引总次数排名最高的作者名单。在排除现职工作单位是非中国大陆机构的作者，以及从未发表过被引次数世界前 1%论文、论文标准化影响力（Field Weighted Citation Impact）低于 1 的作者之后，制作方得出38个领域共1651名最具世界影响力的中国学者名单。
