New York – Stanford University, in collaboration with Elsevier, announced the 2025 edition of the list of the top 2% of scientists in the world, based on criteria including research impact, number of citations, and contributions to specialized fields. Among those honored, Professor Dr. Abdeslam Idrissi stood out, a native of Taounate province and professor at the College of Staten Island at the City University of New York, who distinguished himself in clinical medicine and neuroscience thanks to his pioneering research and broad scientific impact.
Achievement Reflects Moroccan Excellence in Scientific Research
The list is based on analysis of Scopus data, the global research database, where researchers are evaluated based on a composite index including number of publications, citations, and relative impact in their specialty. Dr. Idrissi’s inclusion in this prestigious list, which includes more than 200,000 scientists from around the world, is an exceptional achievement that enhances the international standing of Moroccan researchers. Idrissi, through his studies in clinical medicine and neuroscience, has contributed to advancing knowledge about complex neurological disorders, earning him high citations and tangible impact in the scientific community.
This recognition is considered a national pride, as it highlights the ability of Moroccan talent to compete globally despite challenges, and encourages strengthening investment in scientific research in the Kingdom. The announcement comes in the context of Stanford University’s ongoing efforts to rank scientists since 2019, reflecting a commitment to highlighting distinguished scientific contributions.
Reactions and Calls to Celebrate National Talent
Dr. Idrissi expressed his happiness with this honor, emphasizing that it is “the fruit of collective effort and support from colleagues and institutions,” expressing his pride in representing Morocco in this global forum. This achievement serves as motivation for Moroccan youth to engage in scientific research, especially in the fields of medicine and natural sciences.
Fez News calls for celebrating these national talents, with focus on supporting Moroccan universities to produce more internationally distinguished researchers.
