The Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) has published a ranking of the 10,000 most outstanding Spanish and foreign female scientists conducting research in organizations in Spain, aiming to increase the visibility of their work. A total of 402 researchers from the University of Barcelona are included, 25 of whom belong to the Faculty of Economics and Business.

Five researchers from the UB Business School are featured in the ranking, led by Mercè Bernardo, followed by Esther Hormiga, Montserrat Crespí, Pilar Aparicio and Mercè Claramunt.

The ranking is based on the h-index from Google Scholar profiles, an indicator that quantifies scientific productivity and the impact of published articles, as well as the number of citations.
