Abstract: There is no annual ranking for top scientists in the area of maritime and port logistics systems (MPLSs), such as in the area of physics or top 10 most influential mathematicians. Therefore, the main aims of the present study are to offer the academic community more visibility of the influential research and highlight the scholars whose relevant bibliometric indexes are higher than average. A systematic, scientific, and fair approach based on very well-known bibliometric indexes is conducted to identify the most influential scholars. This provides possibilities for a rigorous comparative analysis, as well as assessment of scholars' scientific outputs. The internal database includes a total of 8,774 documents that were comprehensively analysed. All the obtained results are reproducible and verifiable. If this approach omitted some credible scholars, it should not be considered as a judgment of the merit of their scientific output. [Submitted: 14 February 2024; Accepted: 15 July 2024]
