Twenty of these scientists are full members and corresponding members of BAS, while the others are professors at the Academy’s institutes. This year’s Stanford ranking includes a total of 102 Bulgarian researchers.

A separate ranking has been compiled for the impact on scientific development over the past year. It includes an additional 10 scientists and members of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences who do not appear in the overall development ranking.
