Self-cited researchers in Bangladesh: Top 2% scientists 2026
Live Directory analytics: the Bangladesh mean self_citation_pct is about 12.30% (rank 58 of 170). The Bangladesh-scoped author ranking opens with Talukder, Mohammad Badruddoza (72.18%, 586 citations).
Which Bangladesh Top 2% scientists have the highest self-citation share?
Direct answer: ABS Nexora ranks researchers by the native field self_citation_pct (Stanford–Ioannidis self%). Scoped to country=bgd for the 2026 single-year listing, the author ranking opens with Talukder, Mohammad Badruddoza (International University of Business Agriculture and Technology; 72.18%; 586 total citations). That is a share of that author’s citations, not a claim that Bangladesh is a high-self-citation system.
The Bangladesh country mean on rankings metric avg_self_citation_pct is about 12.30% across 347 listed scholars — rank 58 of 170 countries. Pakistan is about 12.20% (n=1,030); India is about 11.83% (n=6,940). The United States mean is about 8.30% (n=73,459).
Small-cohort caveat: 347 is a small national list. A handful of high percentages move the mean more than they would in a 70,000-person file. Read the author table and the country rank together.
What the Directory is actually ranking
| Element | Native API field | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Per researcher | self_citation_pct | Stanford–Ioannidis self% for that author |
| Per country | avg_self_citation_pct | Mean of those percentages |
| Bangladesh authors | /api/analytics/self-citation/authors?scope=country&entity=bgd | Paginated Bangladesh ranking |
| Country sort | /api/analytics/rankings?metric=avg_self_citation_pct | 170 countries in this snapshot |
This is not “most self-citations in absolute counts.” A researcher with 400 citations and a 60% self-share can outrank a researcher with 8,000 citations and a 10% self-share.
Top of the Bangladesh self-citation author ranking
| Researcher | Institution | Field | self_citation_pct | Citations (all) | Global rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Talukder, Mohammad Badruddoza | International University of Business Agriculture and Technology | Economics & Business | 72.18% | 586 | 16,976 |
| Rashid, Md Bazlar | Geological Survey of Bangladesh | Earth & Environmental Sciences | 69.82% | 381 | 110,766 |
| Chowdhury, Raihan | BioLuster Research Center Ltd. | Clinical Medicine | 60.52% | 461 | 421,102 |
| Mahmud, Tanjim | Rangamati Science and Technology University | Information & Communication Technologies | 57.95% | 1,006 | 64,041 |
| Bhuia, Md Shimul | BioLuster Research Center Ltd. | Clinical Medicine | 57.40% | 662 | 175,897 |
| Khan, Tahsina | Bangladesh University of Professionals | Information & Communication Technologies | 52.65% | 359 | 172,062 |
| Emon, Md Mehedi Hasan | American International University - Bangladesh | Economics & Business | 52.56% | 489 | 21,837 |
| Mamunur Roshid, Md Mamunur | Hamdard University Bangladesh | Physics & Astronomy | 46.99% | 415 | 94,563 |
| Hosen, Asif | Khulna University of Engineering and Technology | Physics & Astronomy | 46.15% | 156 | 329,794 |
| Harun-Ur-Rashid, Mohammad | International University of Business Agriculture and Technology | Chemistry | 46.11% | 360 | 191,207 |
Small-n caveat: several names near the top have under 500 total citations (Rashid 381, Chowdhury 461, Khan 359, Emon 489, Hosen 156). Percentages swing hard on small denominators. Always read citations (all) and global rank next to self_citation_pct. Talukder is also #10 on the Bangladesh top researchers panel (rank 16,976) — a useful reminder that a high self-share and a competitive composite rank can appear on the same profile.
Higher-citation Bangladesh names still high on self-citation %
Filtering the same Bangladesh pull to researchers with ≥500 total_citations_all:
| Researcher | Field | self_citation_pct | Citations (all) | Global rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Talukder, Mohammad Badruddoza | Economics & Business | 72.18% | 586 | 16,976 |
| Mahmud, Tanjim | Information & Communication Technologies | 57.95% | 1,006 | 64,041 |
| Bhuia, Md Shimul | Clinical Medicine | 57.40% | 662 | 175,897 |

| Haque, Mohammad Mahfujul | Agriculture, Fisheries & Forestry | 41.65% | 665 | 162,183 |
| Sobuz, Habibur Rahman | Built Environment & Design | 40.28% | 1,229 | 52,347 |
| Ghosh, Avijit | Physics & Astronomy | 36.21% | 1,193 | 73,684 |
Sobuz, Habibur Rahman (Khulna University of Engineering and Technology; Built Environment & Design) is a useful mid-rank example: 40.28% self-citation share, 1,229 citations, global rank 52,347. Mahmud, Tanjim has 1,006 citations at 57.95%.
Bangladesh is small and, on average, mid-pack
Stat sentence: Among 170 countries ranked by avg_self_citation_pct, Bangladesh is #58 at about 12.30%, with a 347-scholar cohort. That mean sits next to Pakistan (12.20%) and India (11.83%) and above the United States (8.30%). High individual Bangladesh percentages exist in the tail; they do not make this a world-leading self-citation system.
How to use this metric responsibly
- Prefer the profile over a screenshot of one percentage.
- Compare all-citations vs excluding-self (
ns) ranks on the same scholar page. - Do not treat a high
self_citation_pctas proof of misconduct; field norms and collaboration patterns differ, and this cohort is small. - For named universities and field mix, use Bangladesh top universities and Bangladesh field strengths.
- When you cite a paper, the Journal Quality Report is the journal-side companion.

FAQ
Who is the most self-cited Bangladesh Top 2% scientist in this snapshot? On self_citation_pct, Talukder, Mohammad Badruddoza leads the Bangladesh-scoped author ranking at 72.18% (586 citations).
Is Bangladesh a high self-citation country? Not as an outlier. The Bangladesh mean is about 12.30%, rank 58 of 170 — mid-pack, close to Pakistan and India. The list has only 347 scholars.
Why do some Bangladesh names show 50–70% self-citation? The ranking is a percentage. Small citation totals produce large percentages. Read the citation column.
What API field should I quote? Quote self_citation_pct for a person and avg_self_citation_pct for Bangladesh. Do not relabel them as “self-citation count.”
Does a high percentage mean the scholar is not influential? Not by itself. Check rank_all, rank_ns, field, and the full profile — e.g. Talukder, Mohammad Badruddoza (also #10 by country rank).
Where can I reproduce the Bangladesh list? /api/analytics/self-citation/authors?scope=country&entity=bgd&listing=single_year and the Bangladesh country page analytics views.
How do I cite a Bangladesh Top 2% scientist after checking self-citation? Follow how to find, verify, and cite: name, listing (single-year vs career), year, rank, and the live scholar URL.
