The Medicine Maker is a UK based publication that is distributed worldwide to industry professionals. The power list has been compiled from reader nominations with the help of expert judges and is based entirely on merit. It was developed in three stages. In stage one, The Medicine Maker invited readers to nominate those who they thought deserved recognition. In stage two, a jury of four noted medicine makers selected their top 100 from the slate of nominees: the results were consolidated into a list of 100 names. In the final stage, the jury ranked the list, and the average rankings were combined to provide the final Power List.
