The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best scholars in the
discipline of Mathematics was created using data
consolidated from various data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for devising the citation-based metrics were
collected 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 scope of our Mathematics research
Research.com’s best scholars ranking is a reliable
list of leading scholars from the area of
Mathematics, established by means of a meticulous
analysis of 166,880 scholars discovered
from multiple bibliometric data sources. For the area of
Mathematics, more than 6262 researchers were
investigated.
What is D-index approval threshold for Mathematics
The D-index threshold for approving a researcher to be
examined is set to 30 if
the majority of of their publications are in the field of Mathematics. The
inclusion requirements for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index, ratio
of the contributions made within the selected area
in addition to the awards and achievements of the researchers. The
D-index threshold for including leading scientists is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of researchers
projected for each scientific field whilst
making sure that the top 1% of leading researchers are
added into the list. We estimate a proximity of
30% or less between a scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification practices
Because our primary mission is to ensure that only
actual scientists are included in
our ranking we believe that numbers are never
meant to be an absolute means to assess the
work of scientists. For that reason
we manually check each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of credible sources. Even though it’s not a
element contributing to a scientist’s position in
the ranking, the quantity of papers published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should be a
reliable secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
specific field of study. Position in the ranking is
determined by each researcher’s D-index
with the help of data gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-established bibliometric
databases of this type accessible to the scientific community. A
comprehensive explanation of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our objective is to motivate researchers,
companies and decision-makers
around the world to examine where prominent experts are heading
and to provide a way 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.
