The 1st edition of Research.com ranking of the best researchers in the
field of Immunology relies os data
combined from multiple data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for estimating the citation-based metrics were
gathered on 06-12-2021. Position in the ranking is based on a
scholar’s D-index (Discipline H-index), which
includes exclusively publications and citation
values for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Immunology research
Our best scientists ranking is a credible
list of leading researchers from the area of
Immunology, based on a detailed
study of 166,880 researchers identified
from various bibliometric data sources. For the area of
Immunology, more than 6370 researchers were
investigated.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Immunology
The D-index threshold for including a researcher to be
considered is established at 40 if
most of their publications are in the area of Immunology. The
acceptance factors for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index, proportion
of the publications made within the given area
as well as the awards and achievements of the scientists. The
D-index threshold for including best researchers is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of scientists
projected for each area od study whilst
ensuring that the top 1% of leading researchers are
incorporated into the list. There should be a proximity of
30% or less between a scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification rules
As our leading goal is to guarantee that only
actual researchers are included in
the ranking we realize that numbers are never
supposed to be an absolute means to quantify the
output of researchers. Because of that
we manually inspect each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of reliable sources. While it’s not a
metric contributing to a researcher’s position in
the ranking, the quantity of documents published in
major journals and conference proceedings should be a
credible secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
given area of science. Position in the ranking is
based on every researcher’s D-index
using data gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-known bibliometric
databases of this kind available to the research community. A
thorough definition of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our mission
Our mission is to motivate scholars,
entrepreneurs and decision-makers
around the world to explore where top experts are heading
and to provide an opportunity for the whole research community to
get to know who the leading experts in specific
areas of study, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
