The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best scientists in the
discipline of Business and Management relies os data
derived from various 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

The range of our Business and Management research
Research.com’s best scientists ranking is a trustworthy
list of leading scholars from the field of
Business and Management, based on a meticulous
study of 166,880 researchers determined
from various bibliometric data sources. For the area of
Business and Management, as many as 7820 scholars were
examined.
What is D-index approval threshold for Business and Management
The D-index threshold for accepting a scholar to be
evaluated is placed at 30 if
the majority of of their publications are in the field of Business and Management. The
inclusion factors for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index, proportion
of the publications made within the specific field of study
plus the awards and achievements of the researchers. The
D-index threshold for considering best researchers is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of scholars
projected for each discipline whilst
making sure that the top 1% of leading scholars are
incorporated into the ranking. We estimate a proximity of
30% or less between a researcher’s general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification methods
Since our primary mission is to make sure that only
actual scholars are listed in
the ranking we realize that raw data are never
supposed to be a full measure to quantify the
work of researchers. Because of that
we manually check each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of trustworthy sources. Even though it’s not a
metric impacting a scientist’s position in
the ranking, the amount of documents published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should form a
credible secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
selected area of science. Position in the ranking is
determined by every scientist’s D-index
according to metrics gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most prominent and well-known bibliometric
databases of this type open to the scientific community. A
detailed definition of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our goal is to inspire scientists,
businessmen and decision-makers
worldwide to examine where leading experts are heading
and to provide an opportunity for the whole scientific community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
