Data Sources and Citation Metrics
The 12th edition of the Research.com Best Electronics and Electrical Engineering Scientists in Qatar Ranking was meticulously developed using comprehensive bibliometric data aggregated primarily from OpenAlex and CrossRef, in addition to multiple other authoritative data sources. The citation data underpinning the formulation of citation-based metrics for this ranking were collected as of January 12, 2026. A scientist’s position within the ranking is determined by their D-index (Discipline H-index), a refined metric that considers only those papers and citation counts directly related to the examined discipline, thereby providing an accurate measure of influence within the field of Electronics and Electrical Engineering.
Scope of Research and Qualification Criteria
The ranking process involved an extensive examination of 279,971 scientist profiles identified from a diverse range of bibliometric data sources across all academic disciplines. Specifically, 13 scientists active in the field of Electronics and Electrical Engineering were evaluated. To qualify for inclusion in the ranking, a scientist’s D-index had to meet a minimum threshold of 30, and the majority of their tier publications were required to be within the domain of Electronics and Electrical Engineering. Awards and other recognized achievements in this field were also taken into consideration.
The D-index threshold is systematically set in increments of 10 depending on the estimated total number of scholars in each discipline, ensuring inclusion of approximately the top 1% of leading researchers. Furthermore, to maintain discipline specificity and relevance, the proximity between a scientist’s general H-index and their D-index must be 30% or less.
Additional Verification and Methodological Rigor
Recognizing that raw bibliometric data alone cannot fully encapsulate the scholarly impact of researchers, the team behind this ranking implemented rigorous manual verification practices. Each scientist’s profile was carefully cross-checked against publications indexed in a wide array of credible sources to ensure accuracy and integrity. While not factored into the ranking position itself, the number of published papers in prominent journals and conference proceedings is considered a valuable secondary indicator of a scientist’s contribution to their area of study.
The ranking order is established exclusively through the D-index as derived from OpenAlex and CrossRef—the most prominent and widely recognized bibliometric databases accessible to the research community. We invite readers to explore our methodology page for a detailed explanation of the rigorous procedures and metrics employed.
