Recently, guide2research website released the ranking of top scientists in the field of computer science and electronics in 2020. The ranking aims to provide more visibility to the academic community and let more people understand the influential research contributions in the field of computer science.
The ranking collected data of more than 6000 scientists, and evaluated them according to h-index, DBLP, citation and other indicators, from which top 1000 scientists were selected.
Editor’’s note: this list has a history of 5 years. Need to point out
