The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best researchers in the
arena of Business and Management is based on data
derived from multiple data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for evaluating 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
data for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Business and Management research
Research.com’s best researchers ranking is a trustworthy
lineup of leading scientists from the discipline of
Business and Management, established by means of a meticulous
study of 166,880 scientists discovered
from a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Business and Management, more than 7819 scientists were
investigated.
What is D-index approval threshold for Business and Management
The D-index threshold for including a scholar to be
evaluated is set to 30 if
most of their publications are in the field of Business and Management. The
inclusion requirements for scientists to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index, proportion
of the contributions made within the given area
in addition to the awards and achievements of the researchers. The
D-index threshold for listing top scholars is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of scholars
assessed for each area od study whilst
ensuring that the top 1% of best scientists are
added into the ranking. We estimate a proximity of
30% or less between a scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Other verification rules
As our main mission is to guarantee that only
credible scholars are included in
our ranking we are aware that raw data are never
meant to be an absolute means to evaluate the
work of researchers. For that reason
we manually check every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
wide range of reliable sources. While it’s not a
factor defining a scholar’s position in
Research.com ranking, the quantity of papers published in
major journals and conference proceedings should be a
credible secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
specific area of science. Position in the ranking is
based on every scientist’s D-index
according to information collected from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-known bibliometric
databases of this kind open to the research community. A
comprehensive definition of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our mission
Our objective is to inspire researchers,
companies and decision-makers
around the world to investigate where leading experts are heading
and to give an opportunity for the entire scientific community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
