The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best scholars in the
discipline of Business and Management relies os data
consolidated from various data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for estimating the citation-based metrics were
collected 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 metrics for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Business and Management research
Research.com’s best scientists ranking is a reliable
list of leading scientists from the field of
Business and Management, established by means of a meticulous
examination of 166,880 scholars determined
from a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the area of
Business and Management, more than 7819 researchers were
examined.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Business and Management
The D-index threshold for including a scientist to be
considered is set to 30 if
most of their publications are in the field of Business and Management. The
approval criteria for scientists to be
considered into the ranking of top scientists are based on the D-index,
proportion of the publications made within the given
discipline plus the awards and achievements of the
researchers. The D-index threshold for including leading
scholars is set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of
scientists estimated for each
area od study whilst making sure that the top 1% of
leading scientists are incorporated into the list.
We expect a proximity of 30% or less between a researcher’s
general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification practices
Since our main aim is to guarantee that only
actual scholars are included in
our ranking we realize that metrics are never
supposed to be a complete tool to quantify the
work of scholars. This is why
we manually verify every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of credible sources. While it’s not a
factor impacting a researcher’s position in
the ranking, the number of papers published in
major journals and conference proceedings should be a
reliable secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
selected discipline. Position in the ranking is
determined by each researcher’s D-index
using information collected from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most prominent and well-established bibliometric
databases of this type available to the scientific community. A
detailed definition of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our mission
Our aim is to inspire scholars,
businessmen and administrative bodies
around the world to investigate 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 various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
