The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best scholars in the
discipline of Physics is based on data
combined from multiple 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
scholar’s D-index (Discipline H-index), which
only includes publications and citation
metrics for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Physics research
Research.com’s best scholars ranking is a reliable
account of leading researchers from the field of
Physics, based on a detailed
examination of 166,880 researchers discovered
from various bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Physics, more than 51178 scientists were
examined.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Physics
The D-index threshold for approving a scientist to be
evaluated is placed at 70 if
the majority of of their publications are in the discipline of Physics. The
acceptance criteria for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index, ratio
of the contributions made within the given discipline
as well as the awards and achievements of the scientists. The
D-index threshold for listing leading scientists is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of researchers
projected for each discipline whilst
ensuring that the top 1% of leading researchers are
incorporated into the ranking. There should be a proximity of
30% or less between a scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Other verification methods
As our primary goal is to guarantee that only
credible researchers are included in
our ranking we are aware that metrics are never
supposed to be an absolute tool to evaluate the
output of researchers. Because of that
we manually inspect each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of trustworthy sources. Although it’s not a
element impacting a scientist’s position in
the ranking, the amount of documents published in
major 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
based on every scientist’s D-index
with the help of data compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-established bibliometric
databases of this type available to the scientific community. A
thorough overview of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our objective is to motivate scientists,
entrepreneurs and administrative bodies
worldwide to examine where leading experts are heading
and to offer an opportunity for the whole scientific community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
