The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best scientists in the
discipline of Neuroscience 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
researcher’s D-index (Discipline H-index), which
only includes papers and citation
metrics for an examined discipline.

The range of our Neuroscience research
Our best scientists ranking is a credible
list of leading scientists from the field of
Neuroscience, established by means of a meticulous
analysis of 166,880 scientists discovered
from multiple bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Neuroscience, more than 27400 scholars were
analysed.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Neuroscience
The D-index threshold for accepting a scientist to be
examined is set to 30 if
most of their publications are in the discipline of Neuroscience. 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 field of study
plus 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 overall number of researchers
assessed for each area od study whilst
guaranteeing that the top 1% of leading researchers are
considered into the list. We expect a proximity of
30% or less between a scholar’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification methods
As our main aim is to ensure that only
genuine scientists are included in
Research.com ranking we believe that numbers are never
meant to be a full measure to evaluate the
output of scientists. This is why
we manually check every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of credible sources. Even though it’s not a
metric impacting a scientist’s position in
Research.com ranking, the amount of papers published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should be a
valuable secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
given area of science. Position in the ranking is
determined by every researcher’s D-index
with the help of data compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most prominent and well-known bibliometric
databases of this kind open to the scientific community. A
detailed explanation of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our objective is to inspire scholars,
entrepreneurs and politicians
around the world to explore where leading experts are heading
and to give a way for the entire scientific community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
