The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the discipline
of Ecology and Evolution was created using data consolidated from
various data sources including OpenAlex and CrossRef. The bibliometric data for
estimating 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
scholar’s affiliated with a given institution. D-index
takes into account only papers and citation
data for an examined discipline.

The scope of our Ecology and Evolution research
Our best universities ranking is a reliable account of
leading scientists from the field of Ecology and Evolution ,
created using a detailed examination
of 166,880 scholars identified from
a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Ecology and Evolution, as many as 11774 researchers were
investigated.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Ecology and Evolution
The D-index threshold for accepting a scholar to be
evaluated is established at 30 if
most of their publications are in the area of Ecology and Evolution. The
inclusion requirements for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index,
ratio of the publications made within the given
area as well as the awards and achievements of the
researchers. The D-index threshold for including best
researchers is set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of
scientists projected for each
discipline whilst ensuring that the top 1% of
best scientists are considered into the list.
There should be a proximity of 30% or less between a
researcher’s general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification methods
Because our leading aim is to guarantee that only
genuine researchers are included in
our ranking we are aware that numbers are never
meant to be a complete means to assess the
work of scholars. Because of that
we manually verify every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of reliable sources. While it’s not a
metric impacting a scientist’s position in
our ranking, the number of papers published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should be a
valuable secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
specific discipline. Position in the ranking is
based on every scholar’s D-index
using data compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-known bibliometric
databases of this kind accessible to the research community. A
thorough definition of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our mission
Our objective is to motivate scientists,
companies and administrative bodies
worldwide to investigate where top experts are heading
and to provide a way for the whole scientific community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
areas of study, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
