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
various data sources including OpenAlex and CrossRef. The bibliometric data for
devising 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
scholar’s affiliated with a given institution. D-index
includes exclusively publications and citation
metrics for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Animal Science and Veterinary research
Research.com’s best universities ranking is a trustworthy list of
leading researchers from the field of Animal Science and Veterinary ,
based on a meticulous study
of 166,880 scientists discovered from
multiple bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Animal Science and Veterinary, as many as 40040 researchers were
investigated.
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
most of their publications are in the discipline of Animal Science and Veterinary. The
inclusion factors 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
field of study plus the awards and achievements of the
scholars. The D-index threshold for considering leading
researchers is set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of
researchers assessed for each
scientific field whilst guaranteeing that the top 1% of
best scientists are added into the list.
There should be a proximity of 30% or less between a
scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Other verification practices
Since our leading mission is to ensure that only
actual scholars are listed in
the ranking we believe that metrics are never
supposed to be a complete measure to evaluate the
work of researchers. For that reason
we manually inspect each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of credible sources. Even though it’s not a
metric defining a scholar’s position in
the ranking, the number of papers published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
reliable secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
selected area of science. Position in the ranking is
established using every scholar’s D-index
according to metrics compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-established bibliometric
databases of this type accessible to the scientific community. A
thorough definition of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our mission
Our goal is to motivate scientists,
entrepreneurs and administrative bodies
around the world to investigate where top experts are heading
and to offer an opportunity for the whole research community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
