The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best researchers in the
discipline of Mathematics relies os 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
researcher’s D-index (Discipline H-index), which
takes into account only publications and citation
values for an examined discipline.

The scope of our Mathematics research
Our best scientists ranking is a reliable
lineup of leading scholars from the field of
Mathematics, based on a detailed
analysis of 166,880 researchers discovered
from multiple bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Mathematics, as many as 6262 researchers were
analysed.
What is D-index approval threshold for Mathematics
The D-index threshold for including a researcher to be
examined is placed at 30 if
the majority of of their publications are in the discipline of Mathematics. The
acceptance requirements for scientists to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index, proportion
of the publications made within the specific discipline
as well as the awards and achievements of the scholars. The
D-index threshold for considering top researchers is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of scholars
estimated for each area od study whilst
ensuring that the top 1% of leading researchers are
added into the ranking. We expect a proximity of
30% or less between a scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Other verification methods
Since our primary goal is to ensure that only
genuine scientists are listed in
Research.com ranking we realize that raw data are never
meant to be a complete tool to evaluate the
contributions of scholars. For that reason
we manually verify every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
wide range of reliable sources. Even though it’s not a
metric contributing to a researcher’s position in
the ranking, the number of papers published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should form a
valuable secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
selected discipline. Position in the ranking is
established using each scientist’s D-index
using metrics compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-established bibliometric
databases of this kind available to the scientific community. A
detailed explanation of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our aim is to motivate scholars,
companies and politicians
worldwide to investigate where leading experts are heading
and to provide a way for the whole scientific community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
