The 9th edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the discipline
of Electronics and Electrical Engineering is based on data combined from
a wide range of 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
researcher’s affiliated with a given institution. D-index
includes exclusively papers and citation
metrics for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Electronics and Electrical Engineering research
Our best universities ranking is a credible lineup of
leading scholars from the area of Electronics and Electrical Engineering ,
created using a thorough analysis
of 166,880 scientists identified from
multiple bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Electronics and Electrical Engineering, over 10355 scholars were
examined.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Electronics and Electrical Engineering
The D-index threshold for including a researcher to be
examined is established at 30 if
the majority of of their publications are in the discipline 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,
proportion of the contributions made within the specific
discipline plus the awards and achievements of the
scholars. The D-index threshold for including best
researchers is set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of
researchers assessed for each
area od study whilst making sure that the top 1% of
leading researchers are incorporated into the list.
There should be a proximity of 30% or less between a
researcher’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification methods
Because our main goal is to make sure that only
genuine scientists are included in
the ranking we realize that metrics are never
supposed to be a complete tool to evaluate the
output of researchers. For that reason
we manually inspect every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
wide range of reliable sources. Even though it’s not a
metric defining a scientist’s position in
our ranking, the amount of papers published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
credible secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
given field of study. Position in the ranking is
determined by every researcher’s D-index
with the help of data collected from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most prominent and well-established bibliometric
databases of this type accessible to the scientific community. A
detailed explanation of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our aim is to inspire scientists,
companies and politicians
around the world to examine where leading experts are heading
and to provide an opportunity for the entire scientific community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
areas of study, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
