The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best researchers in the
arena of Ecology and Evolution is based on data
consolidated 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
scholar’s D-index (Discipline H-index), which
only includes papers and citation
data for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Ecology and Evolution research
Our best researchers ranking is a reliable
account of leading scholars from the area of
Ecology and Evolution, created using a thorough
examination of 166,880 scholars identified
from a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the area of
Ecology and Evolution, as many as 11774 scholars were
analysed.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Ecology and Evolution
The D-index threshold for including a scholar to be
evaluated is established at 30 if
the majority of of their publications are in the field of Ecology and Evolution. The
inclusion requirements for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top scientists are based on the D-index, ratio
of the contributions made within the given discipline
plus the awards and achievements of the scholars. The
D-index threshold for including leading scientists is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of scientists
assessed for each scientific field whilst
making sure that the top 1% of best researchers are
incorporated into the ranking. There should be a proximity of
30% or less between a researcher’s general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification practices
Because our main mission is to guarantee that only
actual researchers are included in
Research.com ranking we realize that metrics are never
supposed to be a full measure to assess the
work of researchers. This is why
we manually inspect every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
wide range of trustworthy sources. Even though it’s not a
factor contributing to a researcher’s position in
the ranking, the quantity of papers published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should be a
valuable secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
specific area of science. Position in the ranking is
determined by each scholar’s D-index
with the help of information collected from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most prominent and well-established bibliometric
databases of this type accessible to the research community. A
comprehensive definition of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our aim is to motivate scholars,
businessmen and politicians
around the world to explore where leading experts are heading
and to provide an opportunity for the whole research community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
