The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best scientists in the
field of Animal Science and Veterinary is based on data
combined from various data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for devising the citation-based metrics were
gathered on 21-12-2022. Position in the ranking is based on a
researcher’s D-index (Discipline H-index), which
includes exclusively papers and citation
values for an examined discipline.

The range of our Animal Science and Veterinary research
Research.com’s best scientists ranking is a credible
list of leading scholars from the field of
Animal Science and Veterinary, established by means of a detailed
analysis of 166,880 researchers discovered
from various bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Animal Science and Veterinary, as many as 40040 researchers were
examined.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Animal Science and Veterinary
The D-index threshold for including a scientist to be
examined is established at 20 if
most of their publications are in the area of Animal Science and Veterinary. The
approval requirements for scientists to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index, ratio
of the publications made within the selected discipline
in addition to the awards and achievements of the scientists. The
D-index threshold for listing best scholars is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of researchers
projected for each discipline whilst
making sure that the top 1% of best researchers are
added into the ranking. There should be a proximity of
30% or less between a scholar’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification rules
Because our leading aim is to ensure that only
actual scientists are mentioned in
the ranking we are aware that raw data are never
meant to be an absolute tool to evaluate the
work of scientists. This is why
we manually inspect each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
wide range of credible sources. Although it’s not a
metric contributing to a researcher’s position in
our ranking, the number of documents published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
credible secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
specific field of study. Position in the ranking is
based on each scientist’s D-index
according to metrics gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-known bibliometric
databases of this kind accessible to the research community. A
comprehensive overview of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our aim is to inspire scientists,
companies and politicians
around the world to examine where top experts are heading
and to provide an opportunity for the entire scientific community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
areas of study, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
