Thirteen BCMaterials Researchers Among Spain’s Most Influential Scientists
Thirteen researchers affiliated with BCMaterials have been included in the latest edition of the Ranking of Spanish and Women Researchers in Spain, compiled by the Cybermetrics Lab of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). The ranking evaluates more than 12,000 researchers based on scientific impact indicators, including the h-index and citation counts, using data from Google Scholar and OpenAlex profiles linked to ORCID.
Among those recognised are five members of BCMaterials' research staff: Carmen Rial, Itziar Oyarzabal, Anna Sinelschikova, Reyes Calvo, and Maibelín Rosales.
