TSYS School, Jianhua Yang, Lixin Wang Each among Top Five in the World

New research by computer scientists in the School of Information Technology at Universiti Utara Malaysia that ranks institutions and individuals on the basis of scholarship in the area of stepping-stone attacks heaps praise on the Turner College’s TSYS School of Computer Science and two of its faculty – Jianhua Yang and Lixin Wang. The article, published in the April 2023 issue of the International Journal of Research in Engineering and Science, provides a bibliometric analysis of both publication and citation data from 2000 to September of 2022 related to research on stepping-stone intrusion. Among several results, it reports that Columbus State University ranks second worldwide, trailing only the University of Houston, using total publications on the subject as the basis of comparison. A number of other U.S. institutions appear in the top 10, including third-ranked North Carolina State University, fourth-ranked University of Illinois, sixth-ranked Iowa State University, eighth-ranked George Mason University and tenth-ranked Cornell University. Again using total publications as a measure of research productivity, the TSYS School’s Jianhua Yang is the top-ranked scholar worldwide, while his colleague, Lixin Wang, ranks third overall. Lastly, the study also ranks the 20 most impactful studies since 2000 using citations as the basis of comparison. In doing so it reports that Yang is a co-author on both the 14^th- and 17^th-most cited studies on stepping-stone intrusion since 2000.
