Data Sources and Citation Metrics
The 12th edition of the Research.com Best Electronics and Electrical Engineering Scientists in Montenegro Ranking is primarily constructed using data sourced from OpenAlex and CrossRef, two of the most prominent and comprehensive bibliometric databases available to the scientific community. In addition to these, multiple other reputable data sources were integrated to ensure a broad and accurate representation of research outputs. Bibliometric data for the calculation of citation-based metrics were collected on January 12, 2026, providing a recent and precise snapshot of scholarly activity.
A scientist’s position in the ranking is determined by their D-index (Discipline H-index), a specialized metric that accounts exclusively for their publications and citation impact within the examined discipline. This discipline-specific focus ensures that the evaluation reflects a researcher’s influence and contributions specifically within Electronics and Electrical Engineering, rather than their overall scholarly output.
Scope and Criteria of the Ranking
The ranking is based on an extensive examination of 279,971 scientist profiles drawn from a variety of bibliometric data sources across all scientific disciplines. From this comprehensive dataset, 1 scientist profiles specializing specifically in Electronics and Electrical Engineering were identified and assessed. To qualify for inclusion in this ranking, a scientist must have a D-index of at least 30, with a majority of their tier publications concentrated within the field of Electronics and Electrical Engineering. Furthermore, awards and notable achievements in this discipline were taken into consideration to better capture the impact and recognition of the researchers.
The D-index threshold for top researchers is calibrated as an incremental step of 10, based on the estimated size of the scholarly population within each discipline. This methodology guarantees that the ranking encompasses the top 1% of leading scholars, maintaining both exclusivity and representativeness. Additionally, to ensure alignment between general research productivity and discipline-specific impact, candidates were required to have a proximity of 30% or less between their overall H-index and their D-index.
Additional Verification Practices
The research team behind this ranking acknowledges that raw bibliometric data alone cannot serve as an absolute measure of scholarly impact. Accordingly, all scientist profiles underwent a careful manual verification process. This included cross-correlation against publications indexed in a broad array of trustworthy journals and conference proceedings to validate authenticity and relevance.
Although the number of papers published in prominent outlets does not directly influence a researcher's position within the Research.com ranking, it is regarded as a valuable secondary indicator of contribution and influence within the field.
The ranking positions are ultimately established by each researcher’s D-index, with data primarily derived from OpenAlex and CrossRef, recognized as authoritative bibliometric repositories widely utilized within the academic community.
