The 9th edition of Research.com ranking of the best scientists in the
discipline of Electronics and Electrical Engineering was created using 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
researcher’s D-index (Discipline H-index), which
only includes publications and citation
values for an examined discipline.

The scope of our Electronics and Electrical Engineering research
Research.com’s best researchers ranking is a trustworthy
account of leading researchers from the field of
Electronics and Electrical Engineering, based on a meticulous
study of 166,880 scientists discovered
from a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Electronics and Electrical Engineering, over 10355 researchers were
examined.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Electronics and Electrical Engineering
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 Electronics and Electrical Engineering. The
acceptance requirements for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index, ratio
of the contributions made within the given area
plus the awards and achievements of the scientists. The
D-index threshold for considering best scientists is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of scientists
estimated for each area od study whilst
ensuring that the top 1% of leading scientists are
considered into the ranking. We estimate a proximity of
30% or less between a scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification practices
Because our primary mission is to make sure that only
actual researchers are listed in
Research.com ranking we are aware that raw data are never
supposed to be an absolute tool to assess the
output of researchers. For that reason
we manually inspect each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of trustworthy sources. Even though it’s not a
element defining a scientist’s position in
our ranking, the number of documents published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should be a
reliable secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
specific field of study. Position in the ranking is
established using each scholar’s D-index
with the help of metrics compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-known bibliometric
databases of this kind accessible to the research community. A
comprehensive overview of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our aim is to motivate scholars,
entrepreneurs and decision-makers
around the world to explore where top experts are heading
and to provide a way for the whole research community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
areas of study, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
