The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best scholars in the
arena of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering relies os data
combined from multiple data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for estimating the citation-based metrics were
gathered on 21-12-2022. Position in the ranking is based on a
scientist's D-index (Discipline H-index), which
takes into account only publications and citation
metrics for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering research
Our best scientists ranking is a credible
account of leading researchers from the discipline of
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, established by means of a meticulous
study of 166,880 scientists discovered
from multiple bibliometric data sources. For the area of
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, over 5741 scientists were
examined.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
The D-index threshold for approving a researcher to be
considered is placed at 30 if
most of their publications are in the field of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. The
acceptance requirements for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top scientists are based on the D-index, ratio
of the publications made within the specific area
plus the awards and achievements of the researchers. The
D-index threshold for including leading researchers is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of scientists
assessed for each scientific field whilst
making sure that the top 1% of best scientists are
added into the list. There should be a proximity of
30% or less between a researcher’s general H-index and their D-index.
Other verification rules
As our main mission is to ensure that only
genuine researchers are included in
the ranking we realize that metrics are never
meant to be an absolute measure to evaluate the
work of researchers. This is why
we manually inspect every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of reliable sources. While it’s not a
metric contributing to a researcher’s position in
the ranking, the amount of papers published in
major journals and conference proceedings should form a
credible secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
specific discipline. Position in the ranking is
established using every researcher’s D-index
using data collected from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-known bibliometric
databases of this type available to the scientific community. A
detailed definition of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our goal is to motivate scholars,
entrepreneurs and administrative bodies
worldwide to investigate where top experts are heading
and to offer an opportunity for the whole research community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
areas of study, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
