The 1st edition of Research.com ranking of the best scholars in the
discipline of Law and Political Science is based on data
consolidated from various data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for devising 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
takes into account only publications and citation
data for an examined discipline.

What is D-index approval threshold for Law and Political Science
The D-index threshold for including a scientist to be
considered is set to 20 if
the majority of of their publications are in the discipline of Law and Political Science. The
acceptance criteria for scientists to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index, proportion
of the contributions made within the specific area
in addition to the awards and achievements of the scholars. The
D-index threshold for listing top researchers is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of scientists
estimated for each scientific field whilst
making sure that the top 1% of leading researchers are
added into the ranking. We expect a proximity of
30% or less between a scholar’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification methods
Because our leading aim is to ensure that only
genuine scholars are mentioned in
Research.com ranking we realize that metrics are never
meant to be a full tool to evaluate the
contributions of scientists. For that reason
we manually verify every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of trustworthy sources. Even though it’s not a
factor contributing to a researcher’s position in
our ranking, the amount of papers published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
reliable secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
given area of science. Position in the ranking is
established using each researcher’s D-index
using information gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-known bibliometric
databases of this kind accessible to the research community. A
comprehensive overview of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our mission is to inspire scientists,
businessmen and administrative bodies
around the world to examine where leading experts are heading
and to give an opportunity for the entire scientific community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
areas of study, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
