The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best scientists in the
field of Engineering and Technology was created using data
derived from a wide range of data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for devising 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 publications and citation
metrics for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Engineering and Technology research
Our best scholars ranking is a trustworthy
lineup of leading researchers from the discipline of
Engineering and Technology, created using a detailed
examination of 166,880 scientists determined
from various bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Engineering and Technology, over 27940 scientists were
examined.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Engineering and Technology
The D-index threshold for including a researcher to be
considered is established at 30 if
most of their publications are in the discipline of Engineering and Technology. The
inclusion factors for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index, ratio
of the contributions made within the given field of study
plus the awards and achievements of the scientists. The
D-index threshold for considering best scientists is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of researchers
projected for each scientific field whilst
ensuring that the top 1% of leading researchers are
incorporated into the list. We estimate a proximity of
30% or less between a scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification methods
Since our primary mission is to ensure that only
genuine researchers are mentioned in
our ranking we are aware that numbers are never
meant to be an absolute tool to assess the
output of scholars. Because of that
we manually verify every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
wide range of reliable sources. Although it’s not a
factor defining a researcher’s position in
our ranking, the amount of documents published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
reliable secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
given area of science. Position in the ranking is
determined by every scholar’s D-index
using information collected from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-established bibliometric
databases of this kind open to the research community. A
thorough explanation of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our objective is to inspire researchers,
entrepreneurs and decision-makers
worldwide to investigate where prominent experts are heading
and to provide a way for the entire research community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
