The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best scholars in the
discipline of Immunology was created using data
derived from various data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for evaluating 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
includes exclusively publications and citation
data for an examined discipline.

The range of our Immunology research
Our best scholars ranking is a reliable
account of leading researchers from the discipline of
Immunology, created using a detailed
analysis of 166,880 researchers determined
from multiple bibliometric data sources. For the area of
Immunology, over 8616 researchers were
investigated.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Immunology
The D-index threshold for approving a scientist to be
examined is established at 40 if
most of their publications are in the area of Immunology. The
acceptance factors for scientists to be
considered into the ranking of top scientists are based on the D-index, proportion
of the contributions made within the specific area
as well as the awards and achievements of the scientists. The
D-index threshold for including top scholars is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of researchers
projected for each scientific field whilst
making sure that the top 1% of leading scholars are
considered into the ranking. We estimate a proximity of
30% or less between a scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification methods
Since our main mission is to ensure that only
credible researchers are included in
our ranking we believe that numbers are never
supposed to be a complete tool to quantify the
work of scholars. This is why
we manually check each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of credible sources. Although it’s not a
metric contributing to a scientist’s position in
Research.com ranking, the amount of papers published in
major journals and conference proceedings should form a
reliable secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
selected discipline. Position in the ranking is
established using every researcher’s D-index
using data compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-known bibliometric
databases of this type accessible to the scientific community. A
comprehensive definition of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our objective is to inspire scholars,
companies and politicians
around the world to investigate where prominent experts are heading
and to give an opportunity for the entire scientific community to
get to know who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
