The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best researchers in the
field of Neuroscience is based on data
combined from various data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for devising 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
takes into account only publications and citation
values for an examined discipline.

The range of our Neuroscience research
Our best scientists ranking is a reliable
account of leading scholars from the field of
Neuroscience, established by means of a meticulous
examination of 166,880 scholars determined
from multiple bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Neuroscience, more than 27400 researchers were
investigated.
What is D-index approval threshold for Neuroscience
The D-index threshold for accepting a scholar to be
considered is placed at 30 if
the majority of of their publications are in the discipline of Neuroscience. The
inclusion requirements for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index, proportion
of the contributions made within the selected area
in addition to the awards and achievements of the scholars. The
D-index threshold for considering leading researchers is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of scientists
assessed for each scientific field whilst
making sure that the top 1% of leading scientists are
considered into the ranking. We estimate a proximity of
30% or less between a scholar’s general H-index and their D-index.
Other verification rules
As our leading aim is to guarantee that only
genuine researchers are included in
Research.com ranking we are aware that raw data are never
meant to be a complete means to assess the
output of scholars. This is why
we manually verify each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of trustworthy sources. Even though it’s not a
factor impacting a scientist’s position in
the ranking, the quantity of documents published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should be a
credible secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
given area of science. Position in the ranking is
established using every researcher’s D-index
with the help of data collected from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-known bibliometric
databases of this kind accessible to the research community. A
comprehensive explanation of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our goal is to inspire researchers,
businessmen and decision-makers
worldwide to investigate where top experts are heading
and to provide 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.
