Data Sources and Citation Metrics
The 12th edition of the Research.com Best Electronics and Electrical Engineering Scientists in Indonesia Ranking is developed using comprehensive bibliometric data primarily sourced from OpenAlex and CrossRef, supplemented by multiple other reputable data sources. These sources provide extensive and up-to-date records of publications, citations, and scholarly activities across disciplines. The bibliometric data leveraged to calculate citation-based metrics, which underpin this ranking, were collected on January 12, 2026.
A scientist’s position in the ranking is determined by their D-index (Discipline H-index). The D-index is a refined metric that assesses a researcher’s impact by considering only the publications and citation metrics relevant to their specific discipline—in this case, Electronics and Electrical Engineering—ensuring a focused and accurate attribution of scholarly influence within the field.
Scope and Criteria of the Ranking
This ranking examined a total of 279,971 scientist profiles identified from a diverse array of bibliometric databases spanning all disciplines globally. Within the Electronics and Electrical Engineering discipline specifically, 1,000 scientists were examined in-depth based on their research contributions.
To qualify for inclusion in the ranking, a scientist’s D-index must be at least 30. Additionally, the majority of their tier publications needed to be within the core area of Electronics and Electrical Engineering, reflecting sustained and focused contributions to the discipline. Consideration was also given to a scientist’s awards and significant achievements in the field, underscoring the importance of recognized excellence alongside bibliometric performance.
The D-index threshold for the selection of top researchers is calibrated in increments of 10, proportionate to the estimated total number of scholars in each discipline. This method ensures the inclusion of the top 1% of leading experts per field. Moreover, to maintain consistency and relevance, a proximity criterion requiring a difference of 30% or less between a scientist’s general H-index and their discipline-specific D-index was applied.
Verification Practices and Methodological Transparency
Our ranking team recognizes that raw bibliometric data alone are insufficient to serve as an absolute measure of scholarly productivity or impact. Accordingly, every scientist profile was manually verified and cross-correlated against publications indexed in a broad range of trusted academic sources to ensure data integrity and accurate representation of research output.
While the number of papers published in prominent journals and conference proceedings is not a direct factor influencing the researcher’s rank, we regard this as a valuable secondary indicator that reflects the breadth and quality of a scientist’s contributions within their area of expertise.
The rankings are fundamentally anchored on the D-index calculated from bibliometric data retrieved from OpenAlex and CrossRef, which are recognized as two of the most authoritative and widely utilized academic databases available to the global research community.
