Stanford University-Elsevier’s ‘World’s Top 2% Scientists'

I have just been informed that I am in the Stanford University-Elsevier’s ‘World’s Top 2% Scientists' list. https://topresearcherslist.com/Home/Profile/794806

Here is the description on their website

"Stanford University's list of "World's Top 2%" scientists is based on a 2% or above percentile rank, or the top 100,000 by c-score (with and without self-citations). This prestigious list identifies the world's leading researchers, representing approximately 2% of all scientists worldwide. It encompasses standardized data on citations, h-index, and a wide range of bibliometric indicators. Researchers are classified into 22 scientific fields and 174 sub-fields, drawing from Scopus data provided by Elsevier through ICSR Lab.
Note: We have used the Excel data from Stanford/Elsevier to make it easy for users to search, but we are not affiliated with Stanford or Elsevier in any way."

I am pleased to see that their website also states: "Note: Inclusion in this list indicates high impact and recognition in the scientific community. Absence from the list does not reflect the quality of one's work." because a number of of my excellent colleagues are not yet on this list.
