The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best scholars in the
field of Psychology relies os data
consolidated from a wide range of data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for evaluating 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
only includes publications and citation
data for an examined discipline.

The range of our Psychology research
Our best researchers ranking is a trustworthy
account of leading researchers from the area of
Psychology, established by means of a detailed
examination of 166,880 researchers identified
from various bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Psychology, over 15018 scholars were
examined.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Psychology
The D-index threshold for accepting a scholar to be
considered is established at 30 if
the majority of of their publications are in the field of Psychology. The
inclusion criteria for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index, proportion
of the contributions made within the given area
plus the awards and achievements of the scholars. The
D-index threshold for including best researchers is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of scientists
projected for each scientific field whilst
making sure that the top 1% of leading researchers are
incorporated into the list. We expect a proximity of
30% or less between a scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Other verification methods
As our primary mission is to ensure that only
actual scientists are mentioned in
our ranking we believe that raw data are never
meant to be an absolute means to quantify the
contributions of scientists. This is why
we manually inspect every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of credible sources. Even though it’s not a
metric defining a scientist’s position in
our ranking, the number of papers published in
major journals and conference proceedings should form a
credible secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
given area of science. Position in the ranking is
based on each scientist’s D-index
according to metrics gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-known bibliometric
databases of this kind accessible to the scientific community. A
thorough explanation of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our mission
Our mission is to inspire scientists,
companies and administrative bodies
worldwide to examine where top experts are heading
and to offer a way for the whole research community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
