The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best researchers in the
field of Animal Science and Veterinary relies os data
combined from various data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for estimating the citation-based metrics were
collected on 21-12-2022. Position in the ranking is based on a
researcher’s D-index (Discipline H-index), which
takes into account only publications and citation
data for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Animal Science and Veterinary research
Our best scientists ranking is a reliable
account of leading scientists from the area of
Animal Science and Veterinary, established by means of a thorough
examination of 166,880 scholars discovered
from a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Animal Science and Veterinary, over 40040 scientists were
examined.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Animal Science and Veterinary
The D-index threshold for including a researcher to be
examined is set to 20 if
most of their publications are in the area of Animal Science and Veterinary. The
approval requirements for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index, ratio
of the contributions made within the given area
plus the awards and achievements of the scientists. The
D-index threshold for including top scientists is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of researchers
projected for each scientific field whilst
ensuring that the top 1% of leading scholars are
incorporated into the list. We expect a proximity of
30% or less between a scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification rules
Because our main mission is to ensure that only
actual scientists are listed in
Research.com ranking we believe that numbers are never
supposed to be a complete measure to assess the
contributions of scientists. Because of that
we manually check every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of trustworthy sources. Even though it’s not a
metric defining a researcher’s position in
Research.com ranking, the amount of papers published in
major journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
reliable secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
selected discipline. Position in the ranking is
based on each scholar’s D-index
using metrics gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-known bibliometric
databases of this type available to the research community. A
comprehensive overview of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our aim is to inspire scientists,
companies and politicians
around the world to explore where prominent experts are heading
and to provide an opportunity for the entire research community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
