Professor Federico Hernández-Alfaro, Director of the Maxillofacial Institute, has once again been included in the latest edition of the Ranking of the World Scientists: World's Top 2% Scientists, prepared by Stanford University. This international ranking recognizes the world's most influential researchers in their respective fields, using objective indicators such as the number of publications, citations received, and the h-index.
What does this recognition mean?
Being included in this ranking means being among the 2% of scientists with the greatest global impact in the field of dentistry and maxillofacial surgery. This is not a one-time award, but rather a bibliometric analysis that reflects the relevance and continuity of the scientific work developed over the years. In the case of Professor Hernández-Alfaro, this recognition adds to his career in applied research in orthognathic surgery, digital planning, and innovation in surgical techniques.
The presence of Professor Hernández-Alfaro in the Stanford ranking for the fourth consecutive year reinforces the Maxillofacial Institute's commitment to research and academic excellence. In addition to its clinical work, our center actively participates in the generation of scientific knowledge, contributing to the advancement of maxillofacial surgery and the training of new generations of professionals.
This type of recognition is an incentive to continue promoting research projects that can have a direct impact on clinical practice and the quality of life of patients. At the Maxillofacial Institute, we will continue to combine clinical experience with scientific activity, maintaining an international and multidisciplinary approach.
