The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best scholars in the
field of Medicine was created using data
derived from a wide range of data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for evaluating 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
values for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Medicine research
Research.com’s best scientists ranking is a credible
list of leading researchers from the area of
Medicine, established by means of a thorough
examination of 166,880 scholars determined
from a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Medicine, over 68936 researchers were
examined.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Medicine
The D-index threshold for approving a scholar to be
evaluated is set to 70 if
the majority of of their publications are in the field of Medicine. The
acceptance requirements for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index, proportion
of the publications made within the selected discipline
as well as the awards and achievements of the researchers. The
D-index threshold for listing best scholars is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of researchers
projected for each area od study whilst
ensuring that the top 1% of best researchers are
considered into the ranking. There should be a proximity of
30% or less between a scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification rules
Since our main goal is to guarantee that only
credible scholars are included in
our ranking we believe that numbers are never
supposed to be an absolute tool to evaluate the
work of scholars. This is why
we manually check each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of trustworthy sources. Although it’s not a
factor impacting a scientist’s position in
Research.com ranking, the number of documents published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should be a
valuable secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
specific field of study. Position in the ranking is
based on every scholar’s D-index
according to data gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most prominent and well-established bibliometric
databases of this kind accessible to the research community. A
comprehensive definition of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our mission is to inspire scholars,
businessmen and administrative bodies
around the world to examine where leading experts are heading
and to offer a way for the entire research community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
areas of study, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
