The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best researchers in the
arena of Business and Management is based on data
consolidated from various data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for estimating the citation-based metrics were
gathered on 21-12-2022. Position in the ranking is based on a
scientist's D-index (Discipline H-index), which
takes into account only papers and citation
data for an examined discipline.

The range of our Business and Management research
Our best scientists ranking is a reliable
lineup of leading researchers from the area of
Business and Management, based on a meticulous
analysis of 166,880 scholars determined
from various bibliometric data sources. For the area of
Business and Management, over 7820 scientists were
investigated.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Business and Management
The D-index threshold for including a scientist to be
considered is set to 30 if
the majority of of their publications are in the field of Business and Management. The
acceptance criteria for scientists to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index, ratio
of the contributions made within the given discipline
in addition to the awards and achievements of the researchers. The
D-index threshold for considering leading researchers is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of scientists
assessed for each discipline whilst
ensuring that the top 1% of best scientists are
incorporated into the list. There should be a proximity of
30% or less between a scholar’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification practices
Since our leading mission is to make sure that only
genuine scientists are mentioned in
the ranking we are aware that raw data are never
meant to be a full tool to evaluate the
work of scholars. Because of that
we manually check each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
wide range of credible sources. While it’s not a
metric impacting a scientist’s position in
Research.com ranking, the number of documents published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should form a
credible secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
selected field of study. Position in the ranking is
established using each scholar’s D-index
according to metrics compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-established bibliometric
databases of this type accessible to the scientific community. A
comprehensive explanation of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our mission
Our goal is to inspire scholars,
companies and decision-makers
worldwide to explore where leading experts are heading
and to offer a way for the entire research community to
get to know who the leading experts in specific
areas of study, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
