By Correspondent in Ilorin.

The management of the world famous academic publishing company, Elsevier B.V, has named two professors from the University of Ilorin, north central Nigeria,as among the most productive scientists in the world.

Consequently, the company has listed the two Professors: Kayode Oyewumi and Musa Yakubu as among its most productive scientists in the world.

The Reporters gathered that Elsevier B.V,a company based in Stanford University, United States of America, is an academic publishing company with focus on medical and scientific literature.

The authorities of UNILORIN, disclosed the global ranking in its bulletin issued recently in Ilorin.

Speaking on behalf of his colleague, Prof.Oyewumi, who is the Dean, Faculty of Physical Sciences, expressed delight over the global ranking bestowed upon him and his colleague.

The online publication reports that the second professor,Yakubu,is the immediate past Director of UNILORIN Central Research Laboratories.

Professor Oyewumi described the list as a reflection of the valuable impact of the institution’s researchers on the global research platform.

He noted that researchers’ ranking had become a global tool for evaluating intellectualism, academic prowess, research excellence, with a view to making impact in the development of the world in the 21st century.

“While many ranking bodies are questionable and generally unacceptable, an emerging reputable and distinguished ranking body has named two UNILORIN dons among the world’s top two scientists.

“Obviously, the recent achievement is certainly inspirational to young faculty members and research scholars.

“It is hoped that the next edition of the ranking will feature more scientists from UNILORIN and Nigeria,’’Prof. Oyewumi said.

Going memory lane,the Professor recalled that 180,000 scientists got selected from more than eight million active scientists, worldwide, in 22 major scientific fields and 176 subfields.

“The list is led by Prof. John Loannidis of Stanford University with the use of verifiable data drawn from the SCOPUS database.

“The method adopted for the ranking involved the use of a complex algorithm, based on ranking parameters such as SCOPUS documents (1960-2020).

“It also includes citations (including distinct citing papers), and co-authorship (including first authorship), among others,’’ the world renowned scientist said.

The dean further explained that the long list contained names of few Nigerian scientists drawn primarily from universities and research institutes globally.
