The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best scholars in the
arena of Mathematics is based on data
combined from multiple data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for estimating 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
only includes papers and citation
values for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Mathematics research
Research.com’s best scientists ranking is a credible
lineup of leading researchers from the area of
Mathematics, created using a detailed
analysis of 166,880 scientists identified
from a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Mathematics, more than 6262 scholars were
analysed.
What is D-index approval threshold for Mathematics
The D-index threshold for including a scientist to be
examined is placed at 30 if
the majority of of their publications are in the area of Mathematics. The
acceptance criteria for scientists to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index, proportion
of the contributions made within the given area
as well as the awards and achievements of the researchers. The
D-index threshold for including top scholars is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of scientists
estimated for each area od study whilst
guaranteeing that the top 1% of leading scholars are
added into the ranking. We estimate a proximity of
30% or less between a scholar’s general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification rules
Because our leading goal is to make sure that only
genuine scientists are mentioned in
our ranking we are aware that raw data are never
supposed to be a complete tool to quantify the
output of scholars. Because of that
we manually check each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
wide range of trustworthy sources. While it’s not a
metric contributing to a scholar’s position in
Research.com ranking, the amount of documents published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
reliable secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
specific field of study. Position in the ranking is
determined by each scientist’s D-index
using information gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-known bibliometric
databases of this type open to the scientific community. A
comprehensive overview of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our aim is to inspire researchers,
businessmen and decision-makers
around the world to explore where leading experts are heading
and to give an opportunity for the entire scientific community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
