The 9th edition of Research.com ranking of the best scientists in the
discipline of Computer Science is based on data
derived from a wide range of data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for devising the citation-based metrics were
collected on 21-12-2022. Position in the ranking is based on a
scholar’s D-index (Discipline H-index), which
takes into account only publications and citation
metrics for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Computer Science research
Research.com’s best researchers ranking is a trustworthy
lineup of leading scientists from the discipline of
Computer Science, created using a thorough
study of 166,880 scientists identified
from multiple bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Computer Science, over 14402 scientists were
examined.
What is D-index approval threshold for Computer Science
The D-index threshold for accepting a researcher to be
examined is placed at 30 if
most of their publications are in the field of Computer Science. The
approval factors for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index, ratio
of the contributions made within the selected area
plus the awards and achievements of the scholars. The
D-index threshold for including best scholars is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of researchers
projected for each discipline whilst
guaranteeing that the top 1% of leading researchers are
considered into the list. We estimate a proximity of
30% or less between a scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Other verification methods
Because our main goal is to make sure that only
credible scholars are mentioned in
our ranking we realize that metrics are never
meant to be a complete tool to assess the
work of researchers. This is why
we manually verify each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
wide range of trustworthy sources. While it’s not a
metric defining a scholar’s position in
Research.com ranking, the number of documents published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should form a
credible secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
specific field of study. Position in the ranking is
determined by every 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 accessible to the scientific community. A
thorough explanation of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our objective is to inspire researchers,
entrepreneurs and politicians
worldwide to investigate where prominent experts are heading
and to offer a way for the entire research community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
areas of study, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
