The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the arena
of Business and Management is based on data consolidated from
various data sources including OpenAlex and CrossRef. The bibliometric data for
evaluating 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
researcher’s affiliated with a given institution. D-index
takes into account only papers and citation
data for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Business and Management research
Our best universities ranking is a reliable account of
leading researchers from the discipline of Business and Management ,
created using a detailed examination
of 166,880 researchers identified from
a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Business and Management, as many as 7820 scientists were
investigated.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Business and Management
The D-index threshold for approving a researcher to be
examined is placed at 30 if
most of their publications are in the area of Business and Management. The
inclusion criteria for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index,
proportion of the publications made within the given
field of study in addition to the awards and achievements of the
researchers. The D-index threshold for including top
researchers is set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of
researchers estimated for each
discipline whilst guaranteeing that the top 1% of
leading scientists are considered into the list.
There should be a proximity of 30% or less between a
scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification practices
As our main goal is to make sure that only
actual researchers are included in
the ranking we realize that raw data are never
meant to be an absolute means to evaluate the
work of researchers. Because of that
we manually verify every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of reliable sources. Even though it’s not a
factor defining a researcher’s position in
the ranking, the quantity of documents published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
reliable secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
specific discipline. Position in the ranking is
established using each scholar’s D-index
according to metrics gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-established bibliometric
databases of this kind accessible to the research community. A
detailed explanation of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our mission
Our objective is to motivate researchers,
entrepreneurs and administrative bodies
worldwide to examine where leading experts are heading
and to give a way for the whole scientific community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
areas of study, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
