The 9th edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the arena
of Computer Science was created using data derived from
a wide range of data sources including OpenAlex and CrossRef. The bibliometric data for
devising 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
scholar’s affiliated with a given institution. D-index
only includes publications and citation
values for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Computer Science research
Research.com’s best universities ranking is a credible account of
leading researchers from the field of Computer Science ,
created using a detailed study
of 166,880 scientists determined from
a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Computer Science, over 14402 scientists were
investigated.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Computer Science
The D-index threshold for accepting a scientist to be
examined is set to 30 if
most of their publications are in the area of Computer Science. The
acceptance factors for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index,
ratio of the contributions made within the given
area as well as the awards and achievements of the
scholars. The D-index threshold for considering best
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 considered into the list.
We estimate a proximity of 30% or less between a
scholar’s general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification practices
As our leading goal is to make sure that only
credible researchers are listed in
Research.com ranking we are aware that metrics are never
supposed to be a full measure to quantify the
output of scientists. For that reason
we manually verify every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
wide range of reliable sources. Although it’s not a
factor contributing to a researcher’s position in
the ranking, the number of papers published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should form a
reliable secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
selected discipline. Position in the ranking is
determined by each scientist’s D-index
according to metrics collected from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-established bibliometric
databases of this kind accessible to the scientific community. A
thorough definition of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our mission
Our aim is to inspire scientists,
entrepreneurs and administrative bodies
around the world to examine where top experts are heading
and to provide a way for the entire scientific community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
