The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the discipline
of Business and Management was created using data derived from
multiple data sources including OpenAlex and CrossRef. The bibliometric data for
devising 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
only includes publications and citation
metrics for an examined discipline.

The scope of our Business and Management research
Research.com’s best universities ranking is a trustworthy list of
leading scholars from the area of Business and Management ,
based on a detailed analysis
of 166,880 scholars discovered from
a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Business and Management, as many as 7820 researchers were
investigated.
What is D-index approval threshold for Business and Management
The D-index threshold for including a scholar to be
evaluated is set to 30 if
the majority of of their publications are in the area of Business and Management. The
inclusion factors for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index,
proportion of the publications made within the given
area as well as the awards and achievements of the
researchers. The D-index threshold for listing leading
researchers is set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of
researchers assessed for each
discipline whilst making sure that the top 1% of
leading scholars are incorporated into the ranking.
We expect a proximity of 30% or less between a
scholar’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification methods
Since our leading mission is to ensure that only
credible scholars are mentioned in
the ranking we realize that raw data are never
meant to be a complete tool to evaluate the
work of researchers. For that reason
we manually check each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of trustworthy sources. Even though it’s not a
metric impacting a scientist’s position in
our ranking, the amount of documents published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should form a
credible secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
specific discipline. Position in the ranking is
based on each scientist’s D-index
using data compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-known bibliometric
databases of this kind accessible to the scientific community. A
thorough explanation of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our mission is to inspire researchers,
companies and decision-makers
around the world to explore where leading experts are heading
and to give a way for the entire research community to
get to know who the leading experts in specific
areas of study, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
