The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best researchers in the
arena of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering relies os data
consolidated from a wide range of data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for devising 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
includes exclusively papers and citation
metrics for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering research
Our best scientists ranking is a trustworthy
list of leading researchers from the area of
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, created using a meticulous
analysis of 166,880 researchers discovered
from multiple bibliometric data sources. For the area of
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, as many as 5741 researchers were
investigated.
What is D-index approval threshold for Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
The D-index threshold for approving a scholar to be
evaluated is placed at 30 if
the majority of of their publications are in the discipline of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. The
approval criteria for scientists to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index, proportion
of the publications made within the given discipline
as well as the awards and achievements of the researchers. The
D-index threshold for including leading scientists is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of scientists
projected for each area od study whilst
making sure that the top 1% of leading scholars are
added into the list. There should be a proximity of
30% or less between a scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification practices
Since our primary mission is to guarantee that only
credible scientists are included in
the ranking we believe that raw data are never
meant to be an absolute measure to evaluate the
output of researchers. This is why
we manually check each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
wide range of credible sources. Even though it’s not a
element impacting a scientist’s position in
our ranking, the amount of papers published in
major journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
credible secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
given field of study. Position in the ranking is
based on each scientist’s D-index
according to metrics compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-established bibliometric
databases of this kind open to the research community. A
detailed overview of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our aim is to inspire scientists,
businessmen and decision-makers
worldwide to investigate where leading experts are heading
and to give a way for the entire scientific community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
areas of study, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
