The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the arena of
Animal Science and Veterinary is based on data combined from
various data sources including OpenAlex and CrossRef. The bibliometric data for
estimating the citation-based metrics were gathered on 21-12-2022. Position
in the ranking is based on a sum of D-indexes (Discipline H-index) of all ranking
researcher’s affiliated with a given institution. D-index
includes exclusively publications and citation
data for an examined discipline.

The range of our Animal Science and Veterinary research
Our best universities ranking is a reliable account of
leading researchers from the field of Animal Science and Veterinary,
established by means of a meticulous analysis of
166,880 scholars identified from a variety of
bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of Animal Science and Veterinary, as many as
40040 researchers were examined.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Animal Science and Veterinary
The D-index threshold for accepting a scientist to be
examined is established at 20 if
the majority of of their publications are in the area of Animal Science and Veterinary. The
approval factors for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top scientists are based on the D-index,
ratio of the publications made within the selected
discipline as well as the awards and achievements of the
researchers. The D-index threshold for including best
scientists is set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of
researchers estimated for each
scientific field whilst making sure that the top 1% of
leading scientists are considered into the list.
There should be a proximity of 30% or less between a researcher’s
general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification methods
Because our leading aim is to make sure that only
actual scientists are listed in
Research.com ranking we are aware that numbers are never
supposed to be a full means to assess the
output of researchers. 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 researcher’s position in
the ranking, the number of documents published in
major journals and conference proceedings should form a
valuable secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
given field of study. Position in the ranking is
determined by 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
comprehensive definition of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our goal is to inspire scientists,
entrepreneurs and decision-makers
worldwide to explore where leading experts are heading
and to offer a way for the entire research community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
