The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best scholars in the
arena of Engineering and Technology was created using data
combined from multiple 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
scientist's D-index (Discipline H-index), which
includes exclusively papers 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 scientists from the discipline of
Engineering and Technology, created using a detailed
examination of 166,880 scholars determined
from multiple bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Engineering and Technology, over 27940 scholars were
investigated.
What is D-index approval threshold for Engineering and Technology
The D-index threshold for approving a researcher 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 scientists to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index, proportion
of the contributions made within the selected discipline
plus the awards and achievements of the scholars. The
D-index threshold for including leading scholars is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of scholars
estimated for each scientific field whilst
making sure that the top 1% of leading scientists are
considered into the list. We expect a proximity of
30% or less between a scholar’s general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification rules
Because our primary aim is to make sure that only
actual scientists are mentioned in
the ranking we realize that numbers are never
supposed to be a complete tool to quantify the
contributions of researchers. This is why
we manually inspect every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of credible sources. Although it’s not a
element contributing to a scholar’s position in
Research.com ranking, the amount of documents published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should be a
valuable secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
given area of science. Position in the ranking is
established using each scientist’s D-index
using information compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-established bibliometric
databases of this kind available to the scientific community. A
detailed explanation of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our aim is to motivate researchers,
businessmen and administrative bodies
worldwide to examine where leading experts are heading
and to provide an opportunity for the whole research community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
