A number of Tippie faculty were recognized in a recent study published by Stanford University as among the top 100,000 most impactful scientific researchers in their fields.

The study also identified those in the top 2% of their academic subfield. Indices were calculated based on lifetime scholarly impact and impact during the year 2023.

“The inclusion of so many Tippie scholars on this list is a tribute to the profound impact they have had on their respective fields, and testament to the tradition of research excellence we have in the college,” said Nick Street, associate dean for research and Ph.D. programs at the Tippie College of Business. “We are surrounded by world-class researchers every day, and I look forward to seeing more of them on the list in years to come.”

The results reveal the historic and ongoing scholarly strength of the Tippie College of Business across a wide range of academic disciplines.
