The 9th edition of Research.com ranking of the best scientists in the
field of Computer Science relies os data
consolidated from various 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
scientist's D-index (Discipline H-index), which
only includes papers and citation
values for an examined discipline.

The scope of our Computer Science research
Research.com’s best scientists ranking is a reliable
account of leading researchers from the discipline of
Computer Science, established by means of a thorough
examination of 166,880 researchers identified
from a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Computer Science, more than 14402 researchers were
investigated.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Computer Science
The D-index threshold for including a scientist to be
evaluated is placed at 30 if
most of their publications are in the area of Computer Science. The
acceptance requirements for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index, ratio
of the contributions made within the specific discipline
as well as the awards and achievements of the scientists. 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 area od study whilst
guaranteeing that the top 1% of best scholars are
added into the list. We expect a proximity of
30% or less between a scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Other verification rules
Because our leading mission is to make sure that only
credible researchers are included in
our ranking we believe that numbers are never
meant to be a complete means to assess the
work of researchers. For that reason
we manually verify each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of trustworthy sources. Even though it’s not a
element contributing to a researcher’s position in
Research.com ranking, the quantity of papers published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should be a
credible secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
given area of science. Position in the ranking is
established using every scholar’s D-index
according to metrics gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most prominent and well-established bibliometric
databases of this kind available to the scientific community. A
detailed explanation of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our aim is to inspire scholars,
entrepreneurs and politicians
worldwide to examine where leading experts are heading
and to give a way for the whole research community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
areas of study, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
