The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best researchers in the
discipline of Engineering and Technology relies os 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
includes exclusively papers and citation
metrics for an examined discipline.

The scope of our Engineering and Technology research
Our best scholars ranking is a trustworthy
account of leading scientists from the area of
Engineering and Technology, created using a meticulous
examination of 166,880 scientists determined
from various bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Engineering and Technology, as many as 27940 scientists were
analysed.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Engineering and Technology
The D-index threshold for accepting a researcher to be
examined is placed at 30 if
most of their publications are in the discipline of Engineering and Technology. The
approval requirements for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top scientists are based on the D-index, proportion
of the publications made within the selected field of study
as well as the awards and achievements of the scholars. The
D-index threshold for considering best scholars is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of scholars
projected for each area od study whilst
ensuring that the top 1% of leading scholars are
added into the list. We estimate a proximity of
30% or less between a scholar’s general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification practices
As our main aim is to ensure that only
credible researchers are included in
the ranking we are aware that raw data are never
meant to be a complete means to assess the
work of scientists. This is why
we manually check each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of reliable sources. While it’s not a
factor contributing to a researcher’s position in
Research.com ranking, the quantity of documents published in
major journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
credible secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
specific discipline. Position in the ranking is
determined by every researcher’s D-index
using information collected from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-established bibliometric
databases of this kind accessible to the scientific community. A
thorough overview of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our objective is to inspire researchers,
entrepreneurs and decision-makers
worldwide to explore where top experts are heading
and to give a way for the whole research community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
