Stanford University recently released an update of the list that represents the top 2 % of the most-cited scientists in various disciplines. The report was prepared by a team of experts led by Professor John Ioannidis.
The updated version (https://doi.org/10.17632/btchxktzyw.3) is based on the Aug 01, 2021 snapshot from Scopus and is updated to citation year 2020. The database provides standardized information on citations, h-index, co-authorship-adjusted hm-index, citations to papers in different authorship positions, and a composite indicator.
The following Mechanical Engineering faculty (tenured, tenure-track, research, and joint) were ranked in the top 2% in either the career-long or the single-year rankings:
