The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best scholars in the
arena of Immunology was created using data
combined from various data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for estimating the citation-based metrics were
acquired 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 focus of our Immunology research
Research.com’s best scientists ranking is a reliable
account of leading scholars from the area of
Immunology, created using a thorough
examination of 166,880 scientists identified
from a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Immunology, as many as 8616 scholars were
investigated.
What is D-index approval threshold for Immunology
The D-index threshold for accepting a scholar to be
considered is placed at 40 if
most of their publications are in the area of Immunology. The
inclusion criteria for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index, proportion
of the publications made within the given area
as well as the awards and achievements of the scholars. The
D-index threshold for including top researchers is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of researchers
estimated for each area od study whilst
ensuring that the top 1% of leading scientists are
incorporated into the list. There should be a proximity of
30% or less between a scholar’s general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification methods
Because our main aim is to make sure that only
credible researchers are listed in
the ranking we are aware that metrics are never
meant to be a complete means to quantify the
output of scholars. This is why
we manually verify each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of trustworthy sources. Although it’s not a
metric contributing to a scholar’s position in
the ranking, the quantity of documents published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should form a
reliable secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
specific discipline. Position in the ranking is
established using every researcher’s D-index
with the help of metrics collected from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-known bibliometric
databases of this kind open to the scientific community. A
comprehensive overview of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our aim is to motivate scientists,
entrepreneurs and administrative bodies
around the world to investigate where leading experts are heading
and to offer an opportunity for the entire research community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
areas of study, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
