Additional verification practices
As our primary mission is to make sure that only
genuine researchers are included in
our ranking we realize that raw data are never
supposed to be a full tool to evaluate the
output of researchers. Because of that
we manually inspect every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
wide range of trustworthy sources. While it’s not a
factor impacting a researcher’s position in
the ranking, the number of papers published in
major journals and conference proceedings should form a
credible secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
given discipline. Position in the ranking is
determined by every researcher’s D-index
using information compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-established bibliometric
databases of this type accessible to the research community. A
comprehensive explanation of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our mission is to motivate researchers,
businessmen and decision-makers
worldwide to investigate where prominent experts are heading
and to provide a way for the whole scientific community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
