A scientist’s position within this ranking is determined using the D-index (Discipline H-index), a refined bibliometric metric that specifically accounts for publications and citations within the examined discipline of Business and Management only. This approach allows for a focused evaluation reflecting disciplinary impact rather than general scholarly influence.
Scope of Research and Eligibility Criteria
From an extensive pool of 279,971 scientist profiles identified through a broad collection of bibliometric data sources spanning all academic disciplines, a focused subset of scholars affiliated with Business and Management was examined to create this ranking. Specifically, 3,000 scientists within Business and Management were analyzed to identify leading figures in this field.
To qualify for inclusion in the ranking, a scientist was required to have a D-index of at least 30. Furthermore, a majority of the researcher’s tier publications needed to be concentrated in the area of Business and Management. Awards and recognized achievements within the discipline also served as supplementary factors in the qualification process.
The D-index threshold for consideration is dynamically set in increments of 10, reflecting the total number of scholars estimated per discipline while ensuring the inclusion of the top 1% of leading experts. Additionally, to ensure disciplinary specificity, all eligible scientists had to maintain a proximity of 30% or less between their general H-index and their Business and Management-specific D-index.
Verification and Methodology Rigor
Recognizing that raw bibliometric data alone cannot fully capture the complexity of scholarly contributions, our team of researchers conducted thorough manual verification of all scientist profiles. These profiles were cross-correlated against publications listed in a diverse range of authoritative sources to validate accuracy and relevance.
While not directly influencing the ranking position, the frequency of publications in prominent journals and conference proceedings was also evaluated as a valuable secondary indicator of a scientist’s influence and dedication to the Business and Management discipline.
The ranking position is ultimately established by each researcher’s D-index, derived from data curated primarily through OpenAlex and CrossRef. These platforms represent the most trusted and widely recognized bibliometric databases accessible to the scientific community, facilitating transparency and replicability in the ranking process.
