NEIKER once again has three researchers in the Stanford ranking, reflecting its strong and ongoing commitment to scientific excellence
They are Carlos Garbisu, specialist in environmental microbiology and NEIKER´s Scientific Director; Inma Estévez, renowned scientist in applied ethology and animal welfare, and Ramón Juste, expert in animal health.
Stanford University has recently updated its list of the world’s top researchers based on citations of their scientific publications on the Scopus portal. Once again, the prestigious American university has included Dr Carlos Garbisu, Scientific Director of NEIKER, Dr Inma Estévez, researcher in the Animal Production Department at NEIKER, and Dr Ramón Juste, researcher in the Animal Health Department, on this list.
The world’s most cited researchers are included in this list, which is a huge recognition for those who make it. In fact, this ranking is currently considered the most prestigious international scientific reference document for assessing the impact of the work carried out by scientists.
This recognition also reflects the scientific excellence of NEIKER as a whole, which is particularly commendable given the small number of researchers at the centre compared to many other centres also included in the Stanford ranking, as well as the fact that it combines research, technological services and transfer to the Basque primary sector, providing added value and improving its competitiveness, especially in the areas of Animal Production and Veterinary Sciences, in which it is the only reference in the Basque Country.
