The Stanford/Elsevier Top 2% Scientists List comprehensively assesses peer-reviewed research across all scientific disciplines. It evaluates each study's impact, considering factors such as citation frequency in other scientific work. This publication ranks research that has made the most profound contributions within each field.

Oklahoma State University had 65 authors listed — 15 from the College of Arts and Sciences; seven from Spears School of Business; 23 from the Ferguson College  of Agriculture; 15 from the College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology; one from the College of Education and Human Sciences, one from the College of Veterinary Medicine; and one from the Office of the Vice President for Research.  

Stanford University collaborates with Elsevier, a Dutch publishing and analytics company, to compile the annual list. The rankings are based on data from Scopus, a source-neutral abstract and citation database.

Each scientist receives a score derived from various metrics, including the h-index, which measures an author's impact and productivity, and adjusted citation counts. Researchers are categorized into 22 scientific fields and 174 sub-fields following the standard Science-Metrix classification.
