The 9th edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the discipline
of Electronics and Electrical Engineering relies os data derived 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
scientist's affiliated with a given institution. D-index
includes exclusively papers and citation
metrics for an examined discipline.

The scope of our Electronics and Electrical Engineering research
Research.com’s best universities ranking is a reliable lineup of
leading scholars from the discipline of Electronics and Electrical Engineering ,
based on a meticulous examination
of 166,880 scientists determined from
a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Electronics and Electrical Engineering, as many as 10355 scholars were
examined.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Electronics and Electrical Engineering
The D-index threshold for accepting a scholar to be
examined is established at 30 if
the majority of of their publications are in the field of Electronics and Electrical Engineering. The
inclusion factors for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index,
ratio of the publications made within the specific
discipline as well as the awards and achievements of the
scientists. The D-index threshold for including top
scholars is set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of
scholars estimated for each
scientific field whilst making sure that the top 1% of
leading researchers are added into the list.
We expect a proximity of 30% or less between a
researcher’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification practices
Since our leading aim is to make sure that only
actual researchers are mentioned in
our ranking we are aware that numbers are never
supposed to be a full means to quantify the
work of scientists. Because of that
we manually verify every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
wide range of credible sources. Although it’s not a
factor contributing to a researcher’s position in
the ranking, the quantity of documents published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should be a
valuable secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
specific area of science. Position in the ranking is
established using each scientist’s D-index
with the help of data collected from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-known bibliometric
databases of this kind open to the scientific community. A
detailed overview of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our mission
Our objective is to motivate scholars,
businessmen and administrative bodies
worldwide to explore where leading experts are heading
and to give an opportunity 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.
