Top researchers in Indonesia on the Top 2% Scientists list 2026

Who are the top researchers in Indonesia on the Top 2% Scientists list?

Direct answer: In ABS Nexora’s Indonesia top_researchers panel (single-year 2026), the national list opens with Nandiyanto, Asep Bayu Dani of Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (Enabling & Strategic Technologies / Materials; global rank 3,954; 2,891 citations), then Rohman, Abdul F. (Universitas Gadjah Mada; rank 14,754) and Suhartanto, Dwi (Politeknik Negeri Bandung; rank 16,623). These are Directory ranks (rank_all) for the single-year listing, not a popularity poll.

The Indonesia cohort is 272 listed scholars — about 0.11% of the single-year country-analytics total (247,376), rank 52 of 170 countries by count. Average citations in the Indonesia snapshot are about 1,311. For the country-level story see the Indonesia directory hub.

Top 10 Indonesia researchers (single-year 2026)

Country order follows the live Indonesia country page. # in Indonesia is order on that panel; Global rank is rank_all.

Every name links to /scholar/{slug}?year=2026&listing=single_year. Example: Nandiyanto, Asep Bayu Dani at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia — useful if you are searching “Ioannidis list Indonesia” or “most cited Indonesian scientists 2026.”

What fields do the leading Indonesian names come from?

The highest-ranked Indonesia names are not an Unpad or UI sweep, even though those campuses lead volume (Indonesia top universities). The top of rank_all in this pull mixes Enabling & Strategic Technologies (Nandiyanto), Agriculture, Fisheries & Forestry (Rohman; Van Noordwijk), Economics & Business (Suhartanto; Latan; Japutra), ICT (Setiadi), Chemistry (Fatimah; Kuswandi), and Clinical Medicine (Harapan).

Citation volume is a different sort. Harapan, Harapan H. holds 11,758 citations at rank 32,800 — more than Nandiyanto’s 2,891. The country citation max on this profile is 23,724. High citations ≠ best composite rank.

Single-year leaders vs career leaders

The career Indonesia listing is a smaller file, not a larger one: 70 scholars (~0.03% of that listing’s global country-analytics total of 243,613) across 42 institutions. Van Noordwijk, Meine V. leads the career panel at career rank 26,822 with 17,922 citations. Nandiyanto is the single-year #1, not the career #1.

Career #2–#4 in this pull are Nandiyanto, Asep Bayu Dani (career rank 39,306), Rohman, Abdul F. (UGM; career rank 52,518), and Iskandar, Ferry (ITB; career rank 79,973). Always state which listing you are citing. The how-to is here: find, verify, and cite an Indonesia Top 2% scientist.

UPI, UGM, UI, and other names in the top slice

• Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia: Nandiyanto (rank 3,954) — see Indonesia top universities for why UPI is not a volume leader.
• Universitas Gadjah Mada: Rohman (14,754).
• Politeknik Negeri Bandung: Suhartanto (16,623).
• ICRAF World Agroforestry Centre, Bogor: Van Noordwijk (17,306) — career #1 in this pull.
• Universitas Diponegoro: Latan (17,950).
• Universitas Indonesia: Japutra (20,997) — UI’s best single-year rank_all in this file.
• Universitas Padjadjaran does not occupy this single-year top-10 rank_all panel. Its volume story lives on the universities post.

How to read “most cited Indonesian scientists 2026”

1. Global rank (rank_all) is the Directory’s default sort for this table.
2. Citations (all) is total_citations_all in the same payload — useful, not identical to rank.
3. Profiles also expose ranks and citations with self-citations excluded (the Directory ns fields) — see Indonesia self-cited scientists.
4. A certificate is an overlay on the same profile: /certificate/{slug}.
