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

Direct answer: In ABS Nexora’s Bangladesh top_researchers panel (single-year 2026), the national list opens with Hasanuzzaman, Mirza of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University (Biology / Plant Biology & Botany; global rank 412; 8,239 citations), then Murshed, Muntasir (North South University; rank 1,042) and Islam, Md Torequl (Gopalganj Science and Technology University; rank 3,781). These are Directory ranks (rank_all) for the single-year listing, not a popularity poll.

The Bangladesh cohort is 347 listed scholars — about 0.14% of the single-year country-analytics total (247,376), rank 45 of 170 countries by count. Average citations in the Bangladesh snapshot are about 1,248. For the country-level story see the Bangladesh directory hub.

Every name links to /scholar/{slug}?year=2026&listing=single_year. Example: Hasanuzzaman, Mirza at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University — useful if you are searching “Ioannidis list Bangladesh” or “most cited Bangladeshi scientists 2026.”

What fields do the leading Bangladeshi names come from?

The highest-ranked Bangladesh names are not a Clinical Medicine sweep, even though Clinical Medicine is the country’s largest field (76 scholars — Bangladesh field strengths). The top of rank_all in this pull is heavy on Biology / plant science (Hasanuzzaman, Islam, Tofazzal), Earth & Environmental Sciences (Murshed; Islam, Abu Reza), and Applied Physics (Hossain, M. Khalid; Alam).

Citation volume is a different sort. Islam, Md Rabiul (BRAC University; rank 15,351) has 10,714 citations in this snapshot — more than Hasanuzzaman’s 8,239. Rahman, Mosiur Mosiur at the University of Rajshahi holds the country max of 17,118 citations at rank 124,464 and is not in this top-10 panel. High citations ≠ best composite rank.

Single-year leaders vs career leaders

The career Bangladesh listing is a smaller file, not a larger one: 105 scholars (~0.04% of that listing’s global country-analytics total of 243,613) across 49 institutions. Hasanuzzaman still leads, but at career rank 8,532 with 36,129 citations.

ListingBangladesh scholarsExample #1Global rank
Single-year 2026347Hasanuzzaman, Mirza412
Career 2026105Hasanuzzaman, Mirza8,532

Career #2–#3 in this pull are Alam, Muhammad Ashraful (North South University; career rank 10,178) and Mamun, A. A. (Jahangirnagar University; career rank 15,341). Always state which listing you are citing. The how-to is here: find, verify, and cite a Bangladesh Top 2% scientist.

Dhaka, SAU, NSU, and BRAC names in the top slice

  • Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University: Hasanuzzaman (rank 412) — see Bangladesh top universities for why SAU is not a volume leader.
  • North South University: Murshed (1,042); Alam (8,029).
  • BRAC University: Islam, Md Rabiul (15,351; 10,714 citations).
  • Jashore University of Science and Technology: Islam, Aminul (16,611).
  • International University of Business Agriculture and Technology: Talukder, Mohammad Badruddoza (rank 16,976) — also #1 on the Bangladesh self-citation ranking.

How to read “most cited Bangladeshi 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 Bangladesh self-cited scientists.
  4. A certificate is an overlay on the same profile: /certificate/{slug}.
