The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best researchers in the
arena of Chemistry was created using data
derived from multiple data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for devising the citation-based metrics were
acquired on 21-12-2022. Position in the ranking is based on a
scholar’s D-index (Discipline H-index), which
takes into account only papers and citation
data for an examined discipline.

The range of our Chemistry research
Research.com’s best researchers ranking is a reliable
list of leading scholars from the discipline of
Chemistry, created using a thorough
analysis of 166,880 scholars discovered
from a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the area of
Chemistry, more than 43178 researchers were
investigated.
What is D-index approval threshold for Chemistry
The D-index threshold for including a scientist to be
considered is placed at 40 if
most of their publications are in the discipline of Chemistry. The
approval factors for scientists to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index, proportion
of the publications made within the given discipline
in addition to the awards and achievements of the scholars. The
D-index threshold for including leading scientists is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of scholars
projected for each scientific field whilst
guaranteeing that the top 1% of best researchers are
added into the ranking. We expect a proximity of
30% or less between a scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification methods
Since our main aim is to ensure that only
actual scientists are mentioned in
Research.com ranking we are aware that numbers are never
supposed to be a full means to assess the
work of scientists. This is why
we manually inspect every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of trustworthy sources. Even though it’s not a
factor defining a scientist’s position in
Research.com ranking, the number of papers published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
credible secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
given discipline. Position in the ranking is
established using each scientist’s D-index
using information gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-known bibliometric
databases of this kind open to the scientific community. A
detailed explanation of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our goal is to motivate researchers,
companies and administrative bodies
around the world to investigate where top experts are heading
and to provide a way for the whole scientific community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
