The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best researchers in the
discipline of Engineering and Technology relies os data
combined from a wide range of data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for estimating 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 papers and citation
values for an examined discipline.

The scope of our Engineering and Technology research
Our best researchers ranking is a credible
lineup of leading scholars from the field of
Engineering and Technology, based on a detailed
examination of 166,880 scholars discovered
from multiple bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Engineering and Technology, more than 27940 researchers were
analysed.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Engineering and Technology
The D-index threshold for including a researcher to be
evaluated is established at 30 if
the majority of of their publications are in the area of Engineering and Technology. The
acceptance factors for scientists to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index, proportion
of the contributions made within the specific area
as well as the awards and achievements of the scientists. The
D-index threshold for considering top researchers is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of researchers
estimated for each discipline whilst
ensuring that the top 1% of best scientists are
added into the list. We estimate a proximity of
30% or less between a scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification practices
Since our leading goal is to guarantee that only
credible researchers are listed in
our ranking we realize that metrics are never
meant to be an absolute tool to assess the
work of scholars. 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 contributing to a researcher’s position in
the ranking, the amount of papers published in
major journals and conference proceedings should be a
valuable secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
selected area of science. Position in the ranking is
established using every scientist’s D-index
using data collected from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-known bibliometric
databases of this kind available to the research community. A
detailed definition of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our aim is to inspire researchers,
entrepreneurs and politicians
worldwide to explore where leading experts are heading
and to give a way for the whole scientific community to
get to know who the leading experts in specific
areas of study, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
