Data Sources and Bibliometric Collection
The 5th edition of the Research.com Best Mathematics Scientists in Morocco Ranking is primarily founded on comprehensive bibliometric data sourced from OpenAlex and CrossRef, supplemented by multiple other authoritative data repositories. These databases represent some of the most prominent and widely respected bibliometric platforms available to the scientific community. The citation-based metrics utilized in the development of the ranking were collected on January 12, 2026, ensuring the metrics reflect the most current scholarly activity. A scientist’s position in this ranking is determined by their D-index (Discipline H-index), which is a refined metric that considers only the papers and citations relevant to the specific discipline of Mathematics for each examined researcher.
Scope of Research and Qualification Criteria
The ranking is based on an extensive examination of 279,971 scientist profiles identified across a broad array of bibliometric data sources spanning multiple disciplines. Within this comprehensive database, 2,000 scientists specifically identified with research activity in Mathematics were evaluated. To qualify for inclusion in the ranking, a researcher’s D-index must be at least 30, and the majority of their tier publications must be in the Mathematics discipline. Additionally, recognition such as awards and notable achievements within Mathematics were also factored into the qualification process.
The D-index cutoff for top researchers is dynamically set in increments of 10, reflecting the estimated total number of scholars within each discipline while ensuring that the top 1% of leading scientists are incorporated into the list. Furthermore, care was taken to ensure there is a proximity of 30% or less between a scientist’s general H-index and their D-index to confirm a disciplined focus in the area of Mathematics.
Verification Practices and Methodological Rigor
The Research.com team is acutely aware that raw bibliometric data alone cannot serve as an absolute indicator of a scholar’s research output or impact. Consequently, every scientist profile included in the ranking underwent meticulous manual verification and cross-correlation against publications indexed across an extensive array of trustworthy sources. Although not a direct factor influencing the ranking position, metrics such as the volume of publications in prestigious journals and leading conference proceedings are recognized as valuable secondary signals of a researcher’s contributions within their scientific domain.
The final ranking positions are established through the careful application of each researcher’s D-index, compiled from OpenAlex, CrossRef, and other respected databases. These efforts reflect a sustained commitment to accuracy and transparency in identifying leading experts in Mathematics.
