The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best scientists in the
arena of Mathematics was created using data
combined from various data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for devising the citation-based metrics were
acquired 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
metrics for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Mathematics research
Our best researchers ranking is a credible
lineup of leading scientists from the field of
Mathematics, created using a meticulous
study of 166,880 scientists discovered
from various bibliometric data sources. For the area of
Mathematics, more than 6262 researchers were
investigated.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Mathematics
The D-index threshold for including a scholar to be
evaluated is placed at 30 if
most of their publications are in the area of Mathematics. The
approval criteria for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top scientists are based on the D-index, ratio
of the publications made within the given field of study
plus the awards and achievements of the scientists. The
D-index threshold for including best scientists is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of scientists
projected for each discipline whilst
guaranteeing that the top 1% of best scholars are
considered into the ranking. We expect a proximity of
30% or less between a researcher’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification practices
Because our primary mission is to make sure that only
genuine researchers are listed in
Research.com ranking we are aware that metrics are never
meant to be an absolute tool to quantify the
output of scientists. This is why
we manually inspect each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of reliable sources. Even though it’s not a
factor impacting a researcher’s position in
Research.com ranking, the amount of papers published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should be a
valuable secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
selected discipline. Position in the ranking is
determined by each scientist’s D-index
using information compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-known bibliometric
databases of this kind accessible to the scientific community. A
thorough overview of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our mission is to motivate researchers,
companies and politicians
around the world to investigate where leading experts are heading
and to give a way for the entire scientific community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
areas of study, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
