Best Economics and Finance Scientists 2026 in Argentina

Scope of Research Considered

The ranking draws from an extensive pool of 279,971 scientist profiles examined across all academic disciplines, with four thousand specifically identified in the field of Economics and Finance. To be eligible for inclusion, candidates must possess a D-index of at least 30, coupled with a majority of their tier publications concentrated in Economics and Finance. Furthermore, recognized awards and notable achievements within this field were factored into the evaluation. The D-index threshold is calibrated in increments of 10 relative to the estimated total number of scholars in each discipline, maintaining a rigorous standard that ensures inclusion of the top 1% of leading experts. Additionally, each scientist’s general H-index is required to be within 30% or less proximity to their D-index, ensuring consistency between overall and discipline-specific research impact.

Additional Verification Practices

Understanding the limitations of bibliometric data as a definitive measure of scholarly output, the research team meticulously conducted manual verification of all scientist profiles. This process included cross-correlation against publications indexed in a wide spectrum of authoritative and trusted academic sources to validate the accuracy and relevance of the data.

While the number of publications in prominent journals and conference proceedings does not directly influence a researcher’s position within the Research.com ranking, this information serves as a valuable secondary indicator of scholarly contribution to the field. The rankings themselves are established based on the D-index as derived from OpenAlex and CrossRef — recognized as the foremost bibliometric databases accessible to the global research community.
