The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best scientists in the
field of Engineering and Technology relies os data
consolidated from a wide range of data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for devising the citation-based metrics were
gathered on 21-12-2022. Position in the ranking is based on a
researcher’s D-index (Discipline H-index), which
includes exclusively publications and citation
values for an examined discipline.

The scope of our Engineering and Technology research
Our best researchers ranking is a reliable
account of leading researchers from the area of
Engineering and Technology, based on a meticulous
analysis of 166,880 researchers discovered
from a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the area of
Engineering and Technology, more than 27940 scientists were
investigated.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Engineering and Technology
The D-index threshold for including a scientist to be
considered is established at 30 if
the majority of of their publications are in the discipline of Engineering and Technology. The
inclusion requirements for scientists to be
considered into the ranking of top scientists are based on the D-index, ratio
of the publications made within the selected discipline
as well as the awards and achievements of the scholars. The
D-index threshold for including best scholars is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of scientists
projected for each discipline whilst
guaranteeing that the top 1% of leading researchers are
incorporated into the list. We estimate a proximity of
30% or less between a scholar’s general H-index and their D-index.
Other verification practices
Because our main aim is to guarantee that only
genuine researchers are listed in
Research.com ranking we realize that raw data are never
supposed to be a complete means to assess the
work of researchers. For that reason
we manually check every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of trustworthy sources. Even though it’s not a
factor impacting a scientist’s position in
Research.com ranking, the number of papers published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should form a
credible secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
selected field of study. Position in the ranking is
established using each scholar’s D-index
according to information gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-established bibliometric
databases of this type accessible to the scientific community. A
thorough definition of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our mission
Our aim is to motivate researchers,
companies and administrative bodies
around the world to examine where prominent experts are heading
and to provide an opportunity for the whole scientific community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
