The 9th edition of Research.com ranking of the best researchers in the
discipline of Electronics and Electrical Engineering is based on data
consolidated from various data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for estimating the citation-based metrics were
acquired 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 scope of our Electronics and Electrical Engineering research
Our best scientists ranking is a trustworthy
list of leading researchers from the discipline of
Electronics and Electrical Engineering, created using a detailed
examination of 166,880 researchers determined
from various bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Electronics and Electrical Engineering, more than 10355 scientists were
analysed.
What is D-index approval threshold for Electronics and Electrical Engineering
The D-index threshold for approving a scholar to be
examined is set to 30 if
the majority of of their publications are in the discipline of Electronics and Electrical Engineering. The
acceptance requirements for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index, proportion
of the publications made within the specific area
in addition to the awards and achievements of the scholars. The
D-index threshold for including top scientists is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of researchers
estimated for each discipline whilst
ensuring that the top 1% of best scholars are
incorporated into the ranking. We estimate a proximity of
30% or less between a researcher’s general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification practices
As our leading aim is to make sure that only
genuine scholars are listed in
Research.com ranking we realize that numbers are never
supposed to be an absolute measure to evaluate the
output of scientists. For that reason
we manually check each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
wide range of credible sources. Even though it’s not a
factor defining a scientist’s position in
Research.com ranking, the quantity of documents published in
major journals and conference proceedings should form a
valuable secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
selected area of science. Position in the ranking is
based on each scholar’s D-index
with the help of metrics collected from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-known bibliometric
databases of this type available to the research community. A
detailed definition of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our goal is to motivate scholars,
companies and administrative bodies
worldwide to explore where top experts are heading
and to offer a way for the whole research community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
