On April 14, Elsevier, a global information analysis service provider, officially released the list of Highly Cited Chinese Researchers of 2021. The list of 2021 "Highly Cited Chinese Researchers" of Elsevier takes Scopus, a global authoritative citation and index database, as the statistics source of scientific research achievements of Chinese researchers, using the selection method designed by Ranking (Shanghai Ranking). Totally 4,701 Chinese researchers with the greatest global influence in various disciplines are named in the list. A total of 44 CQU researchers are among the named ones, ranking the 27th place among colleges and universities in China.

The article level mapping allows the data of disciplinary ownership and performance of Chinese researchers to better reflect the academic research biology of China's disciplinary setting.
