According to the report by the Islamic World Science Citation Center (ISC), Dr Maghsoud Amiri, a faculty member of the Department of Industrial Management at ATU's Faculty of Management and Accounting, has been recognized among the top 1% of highly cited researchers globally.

Dr Amiri has authored numerous research works, including articles, books, and research projects.

The Essential Science Indicators (ESI) database, affiliated with Web of Science, publishes a bimonthly list of the world's highly cited researchers based on data accumulated over the past 10 years.

The primary criterion for selecting these scholars is the citation count of their scientific output. Accordingly, the top 1% of researchers who receive the highest number of citations in their respective specialized fields are designated as "Top 1% Highly Cited Researchers."

This report, prepared by the ISC, identifies highly cited Iranian researchers across 22 subject areas in the sciences and social sciences. The data was compiled and analyzed based on six bimonthly lists from Aban 1403 to Shahrivar 1404. According to the findings, 1,142 Iranian researchers have secured places on the global list of the top 1% highly cited researchers.
