The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best researchers in the
field of Plant Science and Agronomy was created using data
derived from various data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for evaluating the citation-based metrics were
acquired on 21-12-2022. Position in the ranking is based on a
scientist's D-index (Discipline H-index), which
includes exclusively publications and citation
values for an examined discipline.

The scope of our Plant Science and Agronomy research
Research.com’s best scholars ranking is a trustworthy
lineup of leading researchers from the field of
Plant Science and Agronomy, based on a meticulous
study of 166,880 scientists identified
from a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the area of
Plant Science and Agronomy, as many as 5066 scholars were
examined.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Plant Science and Agronomy
The D-index threshold for approving a scholar to be
examined is set to 30 if
most of their publications are in the discipline of Plant Science and Agronomy. The
inclusion factors for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top scientists are based on the D-index, proportion
of the publications made within the specific discipline
plus the awards and achievements of the scholars. The
D-index threshold for listing top scholars is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of researchers
estimated for each discipline whilst
making sure that the top 1% of best scholars are
added into the list. We estimate a proximity of
30% or less between a scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification practices
Since our leading mission is to guarantee that only
actual scholars are listed in
our ranking we believe that numbers are never
supposed to be an absolute means to evaluate the
output of scholars. For that reason
we manually check each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of trustworthy sources. Although it’s not a
factor contributing to a scholar’s position in
the ranking, the number of documents published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should be a
reliable secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
specific area of science. Position in the ranking is
based on every researcher’s D-index
with the help of metrics 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 definition of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our objective is to inspire scholars,
companies and politicians
around the world to examine where prominent experts are heading
and to give an opportunity for the whole scientific community to
get to know who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
