The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best scholars in the
discipline of Environmental Sciences is based on data
consolidated from multiple data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for devising 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 papers and citation
metrics for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Environmental Sciences research
Our best researchers ranking is a reliable
lineup of leading scholars from the area of
Environmental Sciences, created using a detailed
analysis of 166,880 researchers discovered
from multiple bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Environmental Sciences, over 11258 researchers were
examined.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Environmental Sciences
The D-index threshold for accepting a researcher to be
examined is placed at 30 if
most of their publications are in the area of Environmental Sciences. The
inclusion requirements for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top scientists are based on the D-index, ratio
of the publications made within the given field of study
in addition to the awards and achievements of the scientists. The
D-index threshold for considering leading researchers is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of scientists
assessed for each scientific field whilst
guaranteeing that the top 1% of best scholars are
incorporated into the ranking. We expect a proximity of
30% or less between a scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Other verification practices
Since our main goal is to guarantee that only
credible scientists are mentioned in
Research.com ranking we believe that metrics are never
meant to be a complete means to assess the
contributions of scientists. This is why
we manually check every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
wide range of reliable sources. While it’s not a
element impacting a researcher’s position in
Research.com ranking, the number of documents published in
major journals and conference proceedings should be a
valuable secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
specific area of science. Position in the ranking is
based on each researcher’s D-index
using data gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most prominent and well-established bibliometric
databases of this kind open to the scientific community. A
thorough explanation of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our objective is to inspire scholars,
businessmen and administrative bodies
worldwide to explore where prominent experts are heading
and to provide a way for the entire research community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
