The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best researchers in the
field of Ecology and Evolution was created using data
derived from multiple 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
scientist's D-index (Discipline H-index), which
includes exclusively papers and citation
values for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Ecology and Evolution research
Our best researchers ranking is a trustworthy
list of leading scientists from the field of
Ecology and Evolution, created using a thorough
study of 166,880 scholars identified
from multiple bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Ecology and Evolution, more than 11774 scholars were
analysed.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Ecology and Evolution
The D-index threshold for approving a scholar to be
evaluated is set to 30 if
most of their publications are in the discipline of Ecology and Evolution. The
approval factors for scientists to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index, proportion
of the publications made within the given field of study
as well as the awards and achievements of the scholars. The
D-index threshold for considering leading researchers is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of scientists
estimated for each discipline whilst
making sure that the top 1% of best scientists are
considered into the ranking. We expect a proximity of
30% or less between a scholar’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification rules
Because our leading mission is to guarantee that only
credible scholars are mentioned in
the ranking we believe that metrics are never
meant to be an absolute means to assess the
output of scientists. This is why
we manually inspect each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
wide range of credible sources. Even though it’s not a
metric contributing to a researcher’s position in
the ranking, the number of papers published in
major journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
valuable secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
specific discipline. Position in the ranking is
determined by each scientist’s D-index
according to data compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-known bibliometric
databases of this kind available to the research community. A
comprehensive definition of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our objective is to motivate scholars,
companies and politicians
worldwide to examine where top experts are heading
and to give a way for the entire research community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
