The 9th edition of Research.com ranking of the best researchers in the
arena of Computer Science was created using 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
scholar’s D-index (Discipline H-index), which
includes exclusively publications and citation
metrics for an examined discipline.

The scope of our Computer Science research
Our best scholars ranking is a trustworthy
list of leading scholars from the field of
Computer Science, based on a detailed
analysis of 166,880 researchers discovered
from a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Computer Science, more than 14402 scholars were
analysed.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Computer Science
The D-index threshold for accepting a scholar to be
considered is set to 30 if
most of their publications are in the discipline of Computer Science. The
approval requirements for scientists to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index, proportion
of the contributions made within the specific field of study
in addition to 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 total number of scientists
projected for each discipline whilst
guaranteeing that the top 1% of best scientists are
added into the ranking. We estimate a proximity of
30% or less between a scholar’s general H-index and their D-index.
Other verification rules
Since our primary mission is to make sure that only
actual scientists are included in
Research.com ranking we believe that metrics are never
supposed to be a complete measure to assess the
work of scientists. For that reason
we manually verify every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
wide range of credible sources. While it’s not a
metric defining a scholar’s position in
Research.com ranking, the quantity of papers published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should form a
reliable secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
selected area of science. Position in the ranking is
established using every scholar’s D-index
according to information collected from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most prominent and well-established bibliometric
databases of this kind accessible to the scientific community. A
detailed definition of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our objective is to inspire researchers,
businessmen and politicians
around the world to explore where leading experts are heading
and to offer a way for the whole scientific community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
areas of study, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
