Additional verification rules
As our primary aim is to ensure that only
genuine scientists are listed in
Research.com ranking we are aware that metrics are never
meant to be an absolute tool to evaluate the
contributions 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
metric contributing to a scientist’s position in
Research.com ranking, the amount of documents published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should form a
valuable secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
given discipline. Position in the ranking is
established using every scientist’s D-index
with the help of information gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-known bibliometric
databases of this kind open to the research community. A
thorough explanation of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our goal is to motivate scientists,
entrepreneurs and administrative bodies
around the world to explore where top experts are heading
and to give a way for the whole research community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
