The high quality research work produced at the Technical University of Crete (TUC), as well as the international reputation TUC has acquired, have been confirmed once again this year, according to the recent ranking of the bibliometric study by John P.A. Ioannidis of Stanford University published on October 10, 2022 by Elsevier. This ranking, entitled this time "September 2022 data-update for Updated science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators", is announced annually and evaluates the performance of all academics worldwide. Thirty-six (36) Professors of the Technical University of Crete appear cumulatively in the two ranking lists.

The updated 2022 ranking of the world's top scientists is based on a number of indicators, focusing on the impact of their published work, during the year 2021 and on their overall work respectively, and concerns the evaluation of these indicators for over 8,000,000 scientists worldwide. The broader annual evaluation of John P.A. Ioannidis is based on the impact of the published research work and in particular on the citations received by each scientist with at least 5 publications according to the Scopus database.

In both of these lists, a total of thirty-six (36) Professors of the Technical University of Crete are included. Of these, focusing only on the thirty-two (32) Professors who were active in the year 2021 (the reference year of the ranking), one finds that the above ranking lists include in percentage more than 25% (1 in 4) of the total 120 active Professors currently with the Technical University of Crete.

The Technical University of Crete congratulates its Professors, its teaching and research faculty members, for this important distinction, which reflects the high-level research work carried out at the Institution, and which has contributed, among other things, to the ranking of the Technical University of Crete among the 1001-1200 best universities in the world in general, among the 251-300 best new universities in the world and in the 11th place among 18 Greek universities, according to the Times Higher Education international rankings.
