The 9th edition of Research.com ranking of the best researchers in the
field of Electronics and Electrical Engineering relies os data
derived from various data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for estimating the citation-based metrics were
gathered on 21-12-2022. Position in the ranking is based on a
scholar’s D-index (Discipline H-index), which
takes into account only publications and citation
data for an examined discipline.

The range of our Electronics and Electrical Engineering research
Research.com’s best scientists ranking is a credible
account of leading scholars from the area of
Electronics and Electrical Engineering, based on a thorough
study of 166,880 scientists determined
from multiple bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Electronics and Electrical Engineering, more than 10355 scholars were
examined.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Electronics and Electrical Engineering
The D-index threshold for including a scientist to be
evaluated is established at 30 if
the majority of of their publications are in the field of Electronics and Electrical Engineering. The
acceptance requirements for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index, proportion
of the publications made within the selected discipline
as well as the awards and achievements of the researchers. The
D-index threshold for listing best scientists is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of researchers
projected for each scientific field whilst
ensuring that the top 1% of best researchers are
added into the ranking. We expect a proximity of
30% or less between a scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Other verification practices
As our leading goal is to guarantee that only
genuine scientists are listed in
the ranking we realize that metrics are never
meant to be an absolute measure to assess the
work of scientists. This is why
we manually inspect each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
wide range of credible sources. While it’s not a
element defining a scientist’s position in
our ranking, the amount of papers published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should be a
reliable secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
selected field of study. Position in the ranking is
established using each scientist’s D-index
according to data gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most prominent and well-established bibliometric
databases of this type open to the research community. A
thorough definition of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our aim is to motivate researchers,
businessmen and administrative bodies
around the world to explore where prominent experts are heading
and to provide an opportunity for the entire research community to
get to know who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
