The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the arena
of Animal Science and Veterinary is based on data derived from
a wide range of data sources including OpenAlex and CrossRef. The bibliometric data for
estimating the citation-based metrics were collected on 21-12-2022.
Position in the ranking is based on a sum of D-indexes (Discipline H-index) of all ranking
scientist's affiliated with a given institution. D-index
only includes papers and citation
metrics for an examined discipline.

The scope of our Animal Science and Veterinary research
Our best universities ranking is a reliable account of
leading researchers from the area of Animal Science and Veterinary ,
based on a thorough study
of 166,880 researchers identified from
various bibliometric data sources. For the area of
Animal Science and Veterinary, over 40040 scholars were
analysed.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Animal Science and Veterinary
The D-index threshold for approving a researcher to be
examined is placed at 20 if
the majority of of their publications are in the area of Animal Science and Veterinary. The
acceptance factors for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index,
ratio of the contributions made within the specific
discipline plus the awards and achievements of the
scientists. The D-index threshold for including top
researchers is set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of
scholars estimated for each
discipline whilst guaranteeing that the top 1% of
leading researchers are added into the ranking.
There should be a proximity of 30% or less between a
scholar’s general H-index and their D-index.
Other verification rules
Because our main aim is to guarantee that only
credible scientists are included in
our ranking we believe that metrics are never
meant to be an absolute means to evaluate the
work of scholars. For that reason
we manually inspect each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
wide range of trustworthy sources. While it’s not a
element impacting a scholar’s position in
Research.com ranking, the amount of documents published in
major journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
valuable secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
given field of study. Position in the ranking is
determined by every researcher’s D-index
with the help of information gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-established bibliometric
databases of this type available to the research community. A
comprehensive overview of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our goal is to motivate scholars,
companies and politicians
worldwide to investigate where top experts are heading
and to provide a way for the whole research community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
