The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best researchers in the
arena of Engineering and Technology is based on data
consolidated from various 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
includes exclusively publications and citation
data for an examined discipline.

The scope of our Engineering and Technology research
Our best researchers ranking is a credible
lineup of leading scientists from the area of
Engineering and Technology, established by means of a thorough
study of 166,880 scholars discovered
from multiple bibliometric data sources. For the field 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 scholar to be
examined is placed at 30 if
the majority of of their publications are in the area of Engineering and Technology. The
inclusion factors for researchers 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 scholars. The
D-index threshold for including leading researchers is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of scholars
estimated for each area od study whilst
making sure that the top 1% of best researchers are
considered into the ranking. We expect a proximity of
30% or less between a scholar’s general H-index and their D-index.
Other verification practices
As our primary aim is to guarantee that only
actual researchers are listed in
Research.com ranking we realize that raw data are never
supposed to be a complete tool to quantify the
work of researchers. Because of that
we manually inspect every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of trustworthy sources. Although it’s not a
metric contributing to a researcher’s position in
Research.com ranking, the amount of documents published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should form a
reliable secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
selected area of science. Position in the ranking is
established using each scientist’s D-index
with the help of metrics collected from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-established bibliometric
databases of this type available to the scientific community. A
comprehensive overview of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our mission
Our aim is to motivate scientists,
companies and politicians
around the world to investigate where prominent experts are heading
and to give an opportunity for the entire scientific community to
get to know who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
