EKSU STAFF, OMOJOLA AWOGBEMI RANKED AMONG WORLD’S TOP 2% OF SCIENTISTS IN THE SUBFIELD OF ENERGY FOR 2025
Developed jointly by Stanford University and Elsevier, this list identifies the top 2% of scientists worldwide by standardized citation metrics.
It evaluates research impact using career-long and single-year citation data across 22 scientific fields and 174 sub-fields to ensure fair and comprehensive representation. The selection metric—the composite indicator (c-score)—accounts for the number of citations, co-authorship adjustments, and authorship positions, focusing on meaningful impact rather than just productivity.
Dr. Awogbemi’s inclusion in this global list did not only highlight his outstanding scholarly contributions as a certified Mechanical Engineer, but also enhanced the international visibility of Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti (EKSU) in the global academic community.
By being included in this list, scientists receive global recognition for advancing knowledge and influencing their scientific communities.
Dr. Awogbemi was at a time the Branch Chairman of the Ekiti State University Chapter of the National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT).
