Recently, the "World's Top 2% Scientists 2025" list was jointly released by Stanford University and Elsevier, an authoritative academic publisher.
Professor Jun Pan, Professor of Finance and Chair Professor at SAIF, was selected for the "Career-long Impact" list. Additionally, Professor Pan and Professor Feng Li, SAIF Deputy Dean and Chair Professor of Accounting, both appear in the "Single-Year Impact" list for Economics and Business. This marks Professor Pan's seventh selection and Professor Li's fifth consecutive appearance in the ranking.
The list—developed by Professor John P.A. Ioannidis' team at Stanford University using Scopus data—evaluates scientists through six key metrics including total citations, H-index, and HM-factor. Scientists are categorized into 22 fields and 174 sub-fields to ensure objective assessment across disciplines.
Since its inception in 2009, SAIF has been committed to establishing a world-class institution within China, distinguished by a first-rate faculty, exceptional finance talent, an open research platform, and a preeminent think tank. SAIF has cultivated a world-class faculty that leads in Asia and stands at the forefront in China within the domain of finance. Their research establishes SAIF as the preeminent authority on China's financial landscape and as China's leading voice on global financial issues—work that simultaneously advances Shanghai as an international financial center and reinforces Shanghai Jiao Tong University's world-class standing.
