The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best researchers in the
field of Mathematics is based on data
consolidated 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 papers and citation
data for an examined discipline.

The range of our Mathematics research
Research.com’s best scientists ranking is a reliable
lineup of leading scientists from the discipline of
Mathematics, created using a meticulous
study of 166,880 scholars determined
from a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the area of
Mathematics, more than 6262 scientists were
analysed.
What is D-index approval threshold for Mathematics
The D-index threshold for approving a scholar to be
examined is set to 30 if
the majority of of their publications are in the discipline of Mathematics. The
inclusion factors for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index, ratio
of the publications made within the given field of study
as well as the awards and achievements of the scientists. The
D-index threshold for considering best scientists is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of researchers
projected for each discipline whilst
ensuring that the top 1% of best scholars are
added into the ranking. We expect a proximity of
30% or less between a researcher’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification rules
Since our primary mission is to guarantee that only
actual scholars are mentioned in
Research.com ranking we are aware that numbers are never
supposed to be a complete means to assess the
output of scholars. Because of that
we manually inspect every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of trustworthy sources. While it’s not a
metric contributing to a scientist’s position in
the ranking, the number of documents published in
major journals and conference proceedings should be a
valuable secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
specific field of study. Position in the ranking is
established using each researcher’s D-index
using data compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-established bibliometric
databases of this type available to the research community. A
thorough overview of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our goal is to inspire researchers,
businessmen and administrative bodies
worldwide to investigate where top experts are heading
and to provide an opportunity for the whole scientific community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
