The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best scientists in the
field of Engineering and Technology relies os data
combined from various data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for devising the citation-based metrics were
collected on 21-12-2022. Position in the ranking is based on a
scientist's D-index (Discipline H-index), which
takes into account only publications and citation
data for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Engineering and Technology research
Our best scientists ranking is a reliable
account of leading researchers from the area of
Engineering and Technology, established by means of a meticulous
examination of 166,880 researchers discovered
from multiple bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Engineering and Technology, over 27940 scientists were
investigated.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Engineering and Technology
The D-index threshold for approving a scholar to be
considered is placed at 30 if
most of their publications are in the discipline of Engineering and Technology. The
inclusion 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 selected discipline
in addition to the awards and achievements of the scientists. The
D-index threshold for listing top scholars is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of scientists
estimated for each scientific field whilst
guaranteeing that the top 1% of best scholars are
incorporated into the ranking. There should be a proximity of
30% or less between a researcher’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification methods
Since our leading aim is to ensure that only
actual scientists are mentioned in
our ranking we believe that raw data are never
meant to be a full means to quantify the
output of scholars. For that reason
we manually inspect each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of credible sources. While it’s not a
element contributing to a scientist’s position in
our ranking, the amount of documents published in
major journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
credible secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
selected field of study. Position in the ranking is
determined by each scientist’s D-index
with the help of data gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-known bibliometric
databases of this kind accessible to the research community. A
thorough overview of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our mission
Our objective is to inspire researchers,
companies and decision-makers
worldwide to investigate where top experts are heading
and to give an opportunity for the whole research community to
get to know who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
