Meanwhile, five Vietnamese scientists have been listed in the mechanical and aerospace engineering category. They are Nguyen Xuan Hung and Phung Van Phuc of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology; Nguyen Thoi Trung of Van Lang University; Thai Hoang Chien of Ton Duc Thang University; and Bui Quoc Tinh of Tokyo Institute of Technology.
The ranking is based on the D-index (Discipline H-index), which includes papers and citations for a given discipline. It was compiled by analyzing data from 166,880 scientists in 24 fields on the Microsoft Academic Graph.
The Vietnamese scientists were ranked in seven fields, including computer science, engineering and technology, environmental science, materials science, mechanical and aerospace engineering, medicine, and social sciences and humanities.
Last year, Research.com also named ten Vietnamese scientists in its list of the world's top scientists.
Before that, ten Vietnamese were named in the list of the world's top 10,000 scientists published by the US-based PLOS Biology Journal last October, including Prof. Nguyen Dinh Duc and Dr. Le Hoang Son from the VNU-HN.
