The University of Moratuwa proudly congratulates Prof. Dulani Meedeniya and Prof. Thilini U. Ariyadasa on their inclusion in the prestigious Stanford–Elsevier World’s Top 2% Scientists List 2026. This recognition reflects the international impact of their research contributions and further highlights the University’s commitment to research excellence, innovation and the advancement of knowledge.
The annual ranking recognizes researchers whose scholarly contributions have achieved significant global influence, as measured through standardized citation indicators. Compiled by Stanford University and Elsevier, the database evaluates both career-long and single-year research impact across 22 scientific fields and 174 sub-fields. Its composite indicator considers factors such as citation counts, co-authorship, and authorship position, thereby emphasizing the quality and influence of research rather than publication volume alone.
