The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the discipline
of Chemistry was created using data combined from
various data sources including OpenAlex and CrossRef. The bibliometric data for
evaluating 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
researcher’s affiliated with a given institution. D-index
only includes publications and citation
metrics for an examined discipline.

The scope of our Chemistry research
Research.com’s best universities ranking is a credible list of
leading scholars from the discipline of Chemistry ,
established by means of a thorough analysis
of 166,880 researchers identified from
a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Chemistry, more than 43178 researchers were
investigated.
What is D-index approval threshold for Chemistry
The D-index threshold for accepting a researcher to be
evaluated is placed at 40 if
the majority of of their publications are in the discipline of Chemistry. The
inclusion factors for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index,
ratio of the publications made within the specific
discipline as well as the awards and achievements of the
researchers. The D-index threshold for listing best
researchers is set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of
scholars assessed for each
area od study whilst ensuring that the top 1% of
best researchers are added into the ranking.
We expect a proximity of 30% or less between a
scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification methods
Because our main mission is to guarantee that only
actual scholars are included in
our ranking we are aware that raw data are never
supposed to be a complete means to assess the
output of scholars. This is why
we manually check each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of reliable sources. Although it’s not a
element defining a researcher’s position in
the ranking, the number of papers published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should be a
valuable secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
selected area of science. Position in the ranking is
determined by every scholar’s D-index
using data compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most prominent and well-established bibliometric
databases of this kind available to the research community. A
comprehensive definition of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our objective is to inspire scholars,
entrepreneurs and administrative bodies
worldwide to examine where leading 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 different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
