The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best researchers in the
discipline of Neuroscience relies os data
consolidated from multiple 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
scientist's D-index (Discipline H-index), which
only includes publications and citation
data for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Neuroscience research
Research.com’s best scholars ranking is a credible
list of leading scholars from the discipline of
Neuroscience, based on a detailed
examination of 166,880 researchers discovered
from a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Neuroscience, more than 27400 researchers were
examined.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Neuroscience
The D-index threshold for including a researcher to be
examined is set to 30 if
the majority of of their publications are in the discipline of Neuroscience. The
approval factors for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index, ratio
of the contributions made within the selected discipline
in addition to the awards and achievements of the scientists. The
D-index threshold for listing top researchers is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of scientists
projected for each discipline whilst
making sure that the top 1% of best researchers are
considered into the ranking. We expect a proximity of
30% or less between a scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Other verification methods
Because our leading aim is to make sure that only
genuine scholars are listed in
Research.com ranking we realize that metrics are never
supposed to be an absolute means to assess the
output of scientists. Because of that
we manually inspect each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
wide range of trustworthy sources. Although it’s not a
factor defining a researcher’s position in
our ranking, the amount of papers published in
major journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
credible secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
given discipline. Position in the ranking is
based on every scholar’s D-index
using metrics gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-known bibliometric
databases of this type accessible to the scientific community. A
comprehensive explanation of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our aim is to motivate researchers,
businessmen and politicians
worldwide to investigate where prominent experts are heading
and to give a way for the whole scientific community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
areas of study, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
