The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best researchers in the
discipline of Immunology relies os data
combined from various data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for estimating the citation-based metrics were
gathered on 21-12-2022. Position in the ranking is based on a
scientist's D-index (Discipline H-index), which
takes into account only papers and citation
data for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Immunology research
Research.com’s best scientists ranking is a trustworthy
list of leading scientists from the discipline of
Immunology, based on a thorough
examination of 166,880 scholars determined
from various bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Immunology, more than 8616 scientists were
analysed.
What is D-index approval threshold for Immunology
The D-index threshold for approving a scholar to be
evaluated is established at 40 if
most of their publications are in the field of Immunology. The
inclusion criteria for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index, proportion
of the contributions made within the given field of study
plus the awards and achievements of the scholars. The
D-index threshold for including top scientists is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of scholars
projected for each scientific field whilst
guaranteeing that the top 1% of best scholars are
added into the ranking. There should be a proximity of
30% or less between a researcher’s general H-index and their D-index.
Other verification methods
As our main aim is to make sure that only
actual scientists are mentioned in
our ranking we believe that numbers are never
supposed to be a complete tool to quantify the
output of scientists. This is why
we manually inspect every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
wide range of credible sources. Even though it’s not a
element impacting a researcher’s position in
our ranking, the quantity of papers published in
major journals and conference proceedings should form a
reliable secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
selected area of science. Position in the ranking is
determined by every scientist’s D-index
with the help of metrics gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-known bibliometric
databases of this type accessible to the research community. A
detailed explanation of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our mission
Our mission is to motivate scholars,
companies and politicians
worldwide to investigate where top experts are heading
and to offer a way for the whole research community to
get to know who the leading experts in specific
areas of study, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
