The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best scholars in the
field of Mathematics relies os data
combined 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 scholar’s
D-index (Discipline H-index), which only includes
publications and citation values for an examined discipline.

The scope of our Mathematics research
Our best scholars ranking is a trustworthy
account of leading scholars from the field of
Mathematics, created using a thorough
examination of 166,880 scientists discovered
from multiple bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Mathematics, more than 6262 researchers were
investigated.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Mathematics
The D-index threshold for accepting a scholar to be
considered is established at 30 if
most of their publications are in the discipline of Mathematics. The
acceptance factors for scientists to be
considered into the ranking of top scientists are based on the D-index,
ratio of the contributions made within the selected
area as well as the awards and achievements of the
scholars. The D-index threshold for considering leading
researchers is set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of
scholars assessed for each
discipline whilst guaranteeing that the top 1% of
leading scholars are incorporated into the list.
We estimate a proximity of 30% or less between a scholar’s
general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification rules
As our primary goal is to ensure that only
genuine scientists are listed in
Research.com ranking we are aware that raw data are never
meant to be an absolute tool to assess the
contributions of scholars. Because of that
we manually verify every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of credible sources. Although it’s not a
metric impacting a researcher’s position in
our ranking, the quantity of papers published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
reliable secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
specific discipline. Position in the ranking is
established using each scientist’s D-index
using data compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most prominent and well-established bibliometric
databases of this kind open to the research community. A
thorough overview of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our mission
Our objective is to motivate researchers,
entrepreneurs and decision-makers
worldwide to examine 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
areas of study, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
