The 9th edition of Research.com ranking of the best researchers in the
discipline of Computer Science relies os data
derived from various data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for devising the citation-based metrics were
gathered 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 scope of our Computer Science research
Research.com’s best scientists ranking is a reliable
lineup of leading researchers from the discipline of
Computer Science, based on a thorough
analysis of 166,880 researchers determined
from various bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Computer Science, more than 14402 scholars were
investigated.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Computer Science
The D-index threshold for accepting a scholar to be
evaluated is established at 30 if
the majority of of their publications are in the discipline of Computer Science. The
inclusion requirements for scientists to be
considered into the ranking of top scientists are based on the D-index, ratio
of the publications made within the specific discipline
as well as the awards and achievements of the researchers. The
D-index threshold for considering top scientists is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of researchers
estimated for each discipline whilst
making sure that the top 1% of leading researchers are
added into the ranking. We estimate a proximity of
30% or less between a scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification rules
As our leading goal is to make sure that only
actual researchers are listed in
the ranking we believe that numbers are never
meant to be a complete tool to quantify the
work of scientists. Because of that
we manually check every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of trustworthy sources. Even though it’s not a
element impacting a scientist’s position in
our ranking, the amount of documents published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should be a
credible secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
given field of study. Position in the ranking is
determined by every researcher’s D-index
according to information gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most prominent and well-known bibliometric
databases of this kind available to the research community. A
thorough overview of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our objective is to motivate scientists,
businessmen and decision-makers
around the world to investigate where leading experts are heading
and to give an opportunity for the entire research community to
get to know who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
