The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best scientists in the
field of Engineering and Technology is based on data
combined from a wide range of data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for devising the citation-based metrics were
collected 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 scope of our Engineering and Technology research
Our best scholars ranking is a trustworthy
lineup of leading researchers from the field of
Engineering and Technology, created using a meticulous
examination of 166,880 scholars determined
from various bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Engineering and Technology, over 27940 researchers were
analysed.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Engineering and Technology
The D-index threshold for accepting a scientist to be
evaluated is established at 30 if
the majority of of their publications are in the area of Engineering and Technology. The
acceptance factors for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index, proportion
of the publications made within the selected discipline
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 researchers
estimated for each discipline whilst
ensuring that the top 1% of leading researchers are
added into the list. We estimate a proximity of
30% or less between a researcher’s general H-index and their D-index.
Other verification practices
As our main mission is to ensure that only
genuine researchers are included in
Research.com ranking we are aware that raw data are never
meant to be an absolute means to evaluate the
work of scholars. For that reason
we manually check every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of trustworthy sources. While it’s not a
element contributing to a researcher’s position in
Research.com ranking, the number of papers published in
major journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
reliable secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
selected discipline. Position in the ranking is
established using each researcher’s D-index
using data collected from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most prominent and well-known bibliometric
databases of this kind accessible to the scientific community. A
comprehensive explanation of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our aim is to inspire scholars,
businessmen and politicians
worldwide to investigate where top experts are heading
and to give a way for the entire research community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
areas of study, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
