Data Sources and Ranking Metrics
The 5th edition of the Research.com Best Animal Science and Veterinary Scientists in Egypt Ranking is primarily constructed using bibliometric data sourced from leading research databases, including OpenAlex and CrossRef, complemented by multiple additional reputable bibliometric data sources. The citation-based metrics employed to formulate the ranking were collected on January 12, 2026. Each scientist’s position in the ranking is determined by their Discipline H-index (D-index), a specialized metric that exclusively accounts for the number of publications and citations relevant to the examined discipline, thereby providing a focused assessment of academic impact within Animal Science and Veterinary fields.
Scope and Criteria of the Ranking
A comprehensive analysis was conducted examining 279,971 scientist profiles identified across diverse bibliometric datasets spanning all research disciplines. From this extensive pool, 12 scientists specializing specifically in Animal Science and Veterinary disciplines were subject to detailed evaluation. To qualify for inclusion in the ranking, a scientist was required to meet a minimum D-index threshold of 20, with the majority of their tier publications concentrated within the Animal Science and Veterinary domain. Additionally, recognized awards and significant achievements within this field were factored into the assessment.
The D-index threshold is tailored in increments of 10, reflective of the estimated total number of scholars in each discipline, to ensure a statistically rigorous representation. This methodology guarantees that the top 1% of leading scholars in the discipline are consistently incorporated into the ranking. Furthermore, eligibility requires that the proximity between a scientist’s overall general H-index and their discipline-specific D-index does not exceed 30%, ensuring the relevance and focus of their scholarly contributions.
Verification Practices and Data Integrity
Research.com’s team acknowledges that raw bibliometric data alone is insufficient as an absolute evaluative tool for scholarly output. Accordingly, all scientist profiles included in the ranking underwent meticulous manual verification and were cross-correlated against a broad spectrum of trusted academic publication sources. Although not directly impacting a researcher’s position in the ranking, the volume of publications in prominent journals and conference proceedings serves as a valuable supplementary indicator of scientific contribution within Animal Science and Veterinary research.
Final rankings are established on the foundation of each researcher’s D-index, derived from data collected via OpenAlex and CrossRef—recognized as the most prominent, transparent, and accessible bibliometric databases available to the scientific community.
