The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best scholars in the
arena of Ecology and Evolution is based on 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
scholar’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
Research.com’s best researchers ranking is a trustworthy
list of leading scientists from the area of
Ecology and Evolution, created using a thorough
examination of 166,880 researchers determined
from multiple bibliometric data sources. For the area of
Ecology and Evolution, as many as 11774 researchers were
examined.
What is D-index approval threshold for Ecology and Evolution
The D-index threshold for accepting a scholar to be
examined is set to 30 if
most of their publications are in the field of Ecology and Evolution. The
approval requirements for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index, ratio
of the contributions made within the given field of study
plus the awards and achievements of the scholars. The
D-index threshold for considering top researchers is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of scholars
estimated for each scientific field whilst
making sure that the top 1% of leading researchers are
considered into the ranking. We expect a proximity of
30% or less between a scholar’s general H-index and their D-index.
Other verification rules
Because our primary mission is to make sure that only
genuine researchers are mentioned in
Research.com ranking we are aware that metrics are never
meant to be a complete measure to evaluate the
output of scholars. For that reason
we manually inspect every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
wide range of reliable sources. Even though it’s not a
factor contributing to a scholar’s position in
the ranking, the amount of papers published in
major journals and conference proceedings should be a
credible secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
selected discipline. Position in the ranking is
determined by every scholar’s D-index
with the help of information gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-established bibliometric
databases of this kind open to the research community. A
detailed overview of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our mission
Our goal is to motivate researchers,
entrepreneurs and politicians
around the world to investigate where prominent experts are heading
and to give an opportunity for the whole research community to
get to know who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
