The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the arena
of Animal Science and Veterinary was created using data consolidated from
a wide range of data sources including OpenAlex and CrossRef. The bibliometric data for
estimating the citation-based metrics were acquired 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
takes into account only papers and citation
metrics for an examined discipline.

The scope of our Animal Science and Veterinary research
Research.com’s best universities ranking is a trustworthy account of
leading scientists from the field of Animal Science and Veterinary ,
created using a detailed analysis
of 166,880 scientists identified from
multiple bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Animal Science and Veterinary, as many as 40040 researchers were
examined.
What is D-index approval threshold for Animal Science and Veterinary
The D-index threshold for including a scientist to be
evaluated is set to 20 if
the majority of of their publications are in the discipline of Animal Science and Veterinary. The
inclusion requirements for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top scientists are based on the D-index,
proportion of the contributions made within the given
field of study in addition to the awards and achievements of the
researchers. The D-index threshold for listing top
scientists is set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of
researchers assessed for each
area od study whilst making sure that the top 1% of
best researchers are considered into the ranking.
There should be a proximity of 30% or less between a
researcher’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification rules
Because our main aim is to ensure that only
credible researchers are listed in
the ranking we realize that raw data are never
supposed to be an absolute tool to evaluate the
work of researchers. Because of that
we manually check each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of credible sources. While it’s not a
metric impacting a scientist’s position in
Research.com ranking, the quantity of documents published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should form a
valuable secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
given area of science. Position in the ranking is
based on each scholar’s D-index
with the help of information gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-established bibliometric
databases of this kind accessible to the scientific community. A
detailed explanation of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our goal is to motivate scientists,
companies and decision-makers
around the world to examine where prominent experts are heading
and to provide an opportunity for the whole scientific community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
