The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best scholars in the
discipline of Engineering and Technology was created using data
combined from multiple data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for evaluating 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
only includes publications and citation
values for an examined discipline.

The range of our Engineering and Technology research
Our best researchers ranking is a reliable
account of leading scholars from the field of
Engineering and Technology, created using a thorough
examination of 166,880 scientists identified
from various bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Engineering and Technology, over 27940 scholars were
examined.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Engineering and Technology
The D-index threshold for approving a scientist to be
evaluated is set to 30 if
the majority of of their publications are in the field of Engineering and Technology. The
approval factors for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index, ratio
of the publications made within the given area
plus the awards and achievements of the researchers. The
D-index threshold for considering best researchers is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of scholars
assessed for each area od study whilst
ensuring that the top 1% of leading scholars are
incorporated into the list. We estimate a proximity of
30% or less between a scholar’s general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification rules
As our leading aim is to ensure that only
credible researchers are mentioned in
Research.com ranking we are aware that raw data are never
meant to be a complete measure to evaluate the
work of researchers. For that reason
we manually check each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of reliable sources. Although it’s not a
element impacting a researcher’s position in
the ranking, the quantity of papers published in
major journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
reliable secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
specific area of science. Position in the ranking is
determined by each scholar’s D-index
using metrics gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-known bibliometric
databases of this type available to the scientific community. A
detailed overview of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our goal is to inspire scientists,
entrepreneurs and decision-makers
worldwide to examine where top experts are heading
and to offer an opportunity for the whole scientific community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
