The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best scientists in the
field of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering was created using data
combined from various 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
scholar’s D-index (Discipline H-index), which
includes exclusively publications and citation
values for an examined discipline.

The scope of our Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering research
Research.com’s best researchers ranking is a trustworthy
account of leading scientists from the discipline of
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, created using a thorough
examination of 166,880 researchers identified
from multiple bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, as many as 5741 scientists were
investigated.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
The D-index threshold for accepting a scientist to be
examined is set to 30 if
most of their publications are in the field of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. The
acceptance factors for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top scientists are based on the D-index, ratio
of the contributions made within the specific discipline
in addition to the awards and achievements of the scientists. The
D-index threshold for including leading scholars is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of researchers
estimated for each discipline whilst
ensuring that the top 1% of best scientists are
incorporated 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 main mission is to make sure that only
genuine scientists are included in
Research.com ranking we believe that raw data are never
meant to be a complete means to quantify the
work of researchers. For that reason
we manually verify each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of reliable sources. Although it’s not a
metric defining a researcher’s position in
the ranking, the amount of documents published in
major journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
credible secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
specific field of study. Position in the ranking is
based on every scholar’s D-index
with the help of information compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-known bibliometric
databases of this kind available to the research community. A
comprehensive overview of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our goal is to inspire scientists,
businessmen and administrative bodies
around the world to investigate where prominent experts are heading
and to provide an opportunity for the whole research community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
