Indonesian scientists are increasingly competing internationally. One of the lecturers from the Islamic University of Indonesia (UI) Prof. Is Fatimah is included in the list of 2 percent of influential scientists in the world. The ranking of "Top 2 Percent World Ranking Scientists" was published by Stanford University and Elsevier BV in October 2021. Prof. Is Fatimah becomes one of 58 selected Indonesian scientists from various research institutions and universities.
In addition to teaching at the Department of Chemistry, FMIPA UII, Prof. Is Fatimah has long been known as a person who is diligent in researching the field of science she is involved in. She also diligently publishes various research results in internationally reputed scientific journals and registers patents for her findings. Until 2021, Prof. Is Fatimah has won at least 1,304 citations, 14 Scopus h-indexes, and 17 Google Scholar h-indexes. In addition, she is also active in writing, with 9 book titles, 20 research titles, and more than 115 scientific publications. Her research focus is in the fields of materials, nanotechnology, energy, machinery and transportation. There are four national inventor patents registered in her name.
It is not surprising that Prof. Is Fatimah this year managed to maintain the title of world influential scientist that she got last year. Stanford University counts the number of citations to research publications that do not include citations by oneself. As many as 2 percent of the scientists on the list are the names whose work is most cited in the world's scientific journals. There are totally 159,648 scientists whose work has become a favorite reference from other researchers around the world.
