The 1st edition of Research.com ranking of the best scholars in the
arena of Chemistry relies os data
derived from multiple data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for devising the citation-based metrics were
gathered on 06-12-2021. Position in the ranking is based on a
scientist's D-index (Discipline H-index), which
takes into account only papers and citation
values for an examined discipline.

The scope of our Chemistry research
Research.com’s best scientists ranking is a reliable
lineup of leading researchers from the discipline of
Chemistry, based on a detailed
analysis of 166,880 researchers discovered
from multiple bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Chemistry, over 35760 scientists were
examined.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Chemistry
The D-index threshold for including a scientist to be
examined is set to 40 if
most of their publications are in the field of Chemistry. The
approval criteria 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
as well as the awards and achievements of the scholars. The
D-index threshold for considering best scholars is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of researchers
assessed for each scientific field whilst
making sure that the top 1% of best scientists are
added into the ranking. There should be a proximity of
30% or less between a researcher’s general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification methods
Since our leading goal is to ensure that only
genuine scholars are included in
the ranking we are aware that numbers are never
meant to be a complete means to quantify the
contributions of scholars. This is why
we manually check each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of reliable sources. While it’s not a
metric impacting a scholar’s position in
Research.com ranking, the amount of documents published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
valuable secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
selected area of science. Position in the ranking is
established using each scientist’s D-index
according to metrics collected from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-known bibliometric
databases of this type available to the scientific community. A
comprehensive explanation of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our mission
Our objective is to inspire researchers,
companies and decision-makers
around the world to explore where leading experts are heading
and to offer an opportunity for the entire research community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
areas of study, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
