The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best scientists in the
discipline of Ecology and Evolution was created using data
derived from a wide range of 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
researcher’s D-index (Discipline H-index), which
only includes publications and citation
values for an examined discipline.

The range of our Ecology and Evolution research
Research.com’s best scholars ranking is a credible
lineup of leading scholars from the field of
Ecology and Evolution, based on a detailed
examination of 166,880 researchers discovered
from various bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Ecology and Evolution, more than 11774 researchers were
analysed.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Ecology and Evolution
The D-index threshold for approving a scientist to be
considered is established at 30 if
most of their publications are in the discipline of Ecology and Evolution. The
inclusion criteria for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top scientists are based on the D-index, ratio
of the publications made within the selected field of study
plus the awards and achievements of the researchers. The
D-index threshold for including top scholars is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of scholars
projected for each area od study whilst
ensuring 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.
Additional verification practices
As our leading goal is to ensure that only
actual researchers are listed in
Research.com ranking we are aware that numbers are never
supposed to be a complete means to evaluate the
output of scientists. For that reason
we manually check every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of trustworthy sources. Even though it’s not a
factor impacting a scientist’s position in
Research.com ranking, the amount of documents published in
major journals and conference proceedings should be a
credible secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
specific field of study. Position in the ranking is
established using every scholar’s D-index
using metrics collected from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-known bibliometric
databases of this type available to the scientific community. A
comprehensive overview of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our aim is to motivate scientists,
companies and administrative bodies
around the world to explore where top experts are heading
and to provide an opportunity for the whole research community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
