The scope of our Business and Management research
Research.com’s best universities ranking is a trustworthy account of leading scientists from the area of Business and Management, based on a meticulous examination of 166,880 scientists determined from multiple bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of Business and Management, more than 7819 scholars were investigated.

What is D-index approval threshold for Business and Management
The D-index threshold for approving a scientist to be examined is set to 30 if most of their publications are in the area of Business and Management. The inclusion factors for scientists to be considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index, proportion of the publications made within the specific field of study as well as the awards and achievements of the researchers. The D-index threshold for considering best researchers is set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of scholars estimated for each discipline whilst ensuring that the top 1% of best scientists are considered into the ranking. We estimate a proximity of 30% or less between a scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.

Other verification rules
Since our primary goal is to make sure that only genuine scientists are included in our ranking we realize that metrics are never supposed to be an absolute measure to evaluate the work of researchers. Because of that we manually inspect each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a wide range of credible sources. Even though it’s not a metric defining a scholar’s position in our ranking, the amount of documents published in prominent journals and conference proceedings should constitute a reliable secondary signal of their contribution to research in a given field of study. Position in the ranking is based on every scientist’s D-index using data gathered from OpenAlex and CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-established bibliometric databases of this type available to the scientific community. A detailed explanation of our research process can be found on our methodology page.

Our goal
Our aim is to motivate scientists, companies and administrative bodies worldwide to investigate where prominent experts are heading and to give an opportunity for the entire research community to find out who the leading experts in specific fields of research, in different countries, or even within research institutions are.
