The 1st edition of Research.com ranking of the best researchers in the
field of Environmental Sciences relies os data
consolidated from multiple data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for devising the citation-based metrics were
acquired on 06-12-2021. Position in the ranking is based on a
scientist's D-index (Discipline H-index), which
takes into account only papers and citation
values for an examined discipline.

The range of our Environmental Sciences research
Our best researchers ranking is a trustworthy
account of leading scientists from the field of
Environmental Sciences, established by means of a thorough
analysis of 166,880 scholars determined
from a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Environmental Sciences, more than 9206 researchers were
investigated.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Environmental Sciences
The D-index threshold for accepting a scientist to be
evaluated is placed at 30 if
most of their publications are in the discipline of Environmental Sciences. The
acceptance requirements for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index, ratio
of the publications made within the specific field of study
in addition to the awards and achievements of the researchers. The
D-index threshold for including top researchers is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of scholars
estimated for each scientific field whilst
guaranteeing that the top 1% of leading scientists are
added into the list. We estimate a proximity of
30% or less between a scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification rules
Because our leading aim is to make sure that only
genuine scholars are included in
our ranking we realize that raw data are never
supposed to be an absolute means to quantify the
work of scholars. For that reason
we manually verify every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of credible sources. While it’s not a
element impacting a researcher’s position in
our ranking, the amount of documents published in
major journals and conference proceedings should form a
credible secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
selected area of science. Position in the ranking is
established using every researcher’s D-index
according to information compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most prominent and well-known bibliometric
databases of this type open to the scientific community. A
detailed definition of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our objective is to motivate scientists,
businessmen and politicians
worldwide to investigate where prominent experts are heading
and to offer an opportunity for the entire research community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
