are present in the
2023 World ranking
list of scientists in all fields of science published on
October 4th by by Ioannidis and co-workers.
The ranking is based on the composite score c, a standardized
citation metrics for career-long impact
introduced
in 2019.
The 2023 ranking is updated to

(self-citations excluded), h-index, hm-index and other parameters.
With a c-score of 3.3253, Dr Ciriminna was found in position
141,059, ranked 2461th among 161,171

Surprisingly, but
in full agreement with the outcomes of
the study"
How
self-determination of scholars outclasses shrinking public
research lab budgets, supporting scientific production: a case
study and R&D management implications", most CNR
researchers included in the ranking work in Labs located in
southern Italy, including Maria Laura Di Lorenzo (Naples) and
Maria Carmela Di Piazza (Palermo).
