The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the discipline
of Ecology and Evolution relies os data combined from
various 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
takes into account only publications and citation
data for an examined discipline.

The scope of our Ecology and Evolution research
Our best universities ranking is a trustworthy lineup of
leading scientists from the discipline of Ecology and Evolution ,
created using a thorough analysis
of 166,880 scientists determined from
various bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Ecology and Evolution, more than 11774 scholars were
analysed.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Ecology and Evolution
The D-index threshold for approving a scientist to be
examined is set to 30 if
most of their publications are in the field of Ecology and Evolution. The
approval factors for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top scientists are based on the D-index,
ratio of the contributions made within the given
area as well as the awards and achievements of the
scientists. The D-index threshold for listing leading
scholars is set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of
scientists assessed for each
scientific field whilst guaranteeing that the top 1% of
best scholars 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 practices
Because our main goal is to ensure that only
actual researchers are mentioned in
the ranking we believe that raw data are never
supposed to be a complete means to quantify the
work of scholars. This is why
we manually inspect each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of reliable sources. Although it’s not a
element impacting a researcher’s position in
our ranking, the quantity of papers published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
valuable secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
specific discipline. Position in the ranking is
based on each researcher’s D-index
according to data compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-established bibliometric
databases of this type available to the research community. A
comprehensive definition of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our mission
Our aim is to inspire scholars,
businessmen and decision-makers
around the world to examine where prominent experts are heading
and to offer an opportunity for the entire research community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
