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

The scope of our Ecology and Evolution research
Our best researchers ranking is a credible
list of leading scientists from the area of
Ecology and Evolution, created using a detailed
study of 166,880 researchers identified
from a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Ecology and Evolution, more than 11774 scientists were
examined.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Ecology and Evolution
The D-index threshold for accepting 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
acceptance factors for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index, proportion
of the publications made within the selected field of study
as well as the awards and achievements of the scholars. The
D-index threshold for including best researchers is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of scientists
estimated for each scientific field whilst
guaranteeing that the top 1% of best scientists are
added into the list. We estimate a proximity of
30% or less between a researcher’s general H-index and their D-index.
Other verification rules
Since our primary goal is to guarantee that only
credible researchers are included in
Research.com ranking we realize that metrics are never
meant to be a full measure to evaluate the
work of scientists. For that reason
we manually verify every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of reliable sources. Although it’s not a
factor impacting a scholar’s position in
our ranking, the amount of documents published in
major journals and conference proceedings should form a
valuable secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
given field of study. Position in the ranking is
determined by every researcher’s D-index
with the help of information gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-established bibliometric
databases of this kind available to the research community. A
detailed explanation of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our goal is to inspire researchers,
businessmen and politicians
around the world to explore where leading experts are heading
and to offer 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.
