It is also widely used by many top universities, research institutions, and government departments worldwide for research evaluation, institutional rankings (such as the QS, THE, and CWUR World University Rankings), and scholar impact assessments (such as the Elsevier China Highly Cited Researchers and Stanford's Top 2% Global Researchers list). It is a crucial tool for measuring academic contribution and global influence.
