The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the arena
of Engineering and Technology was created using data consolidated from
multiple data sources including OpenAlex and CrossRef. The bibliometric data for
evaluating 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
only includes publications and citation
values for an examined discipline.

The range of our Engineering and Technology research
Our best universities ranking is a trustworthy account of
leading scholars from the field of Engineering and Technology ,
established by means of a thorough study
of 166,880 scientists determined from
multiple bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Engineering and Technology, more than 27940 scientists were
investigated.
What is D-index approval threshold for Engineering and Technology
The D-index threshold for including a scholar to be
examined is established at 30 if
the majority of of their publications are in the discipline of Engineering and Technology. The
approval factors for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index,
proportion of the contributions made within the specific
area as well as the awards and achievements of the
researchers. The D-index threshold for including top
scientists is set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of
researchers assessed for each
area od study whilst guaranteeing that the top 1% of
leading researchers are added into the ranking.
We estimate a proximity of 30% or less between a
scholar’s general H-index and their D-index.
Other verification methods
As our main goal is to ensure that only
credible researchers are mentioned in
our ranking we realize that raw data are never
supposed to be a full measure to assess the
output of scientists. Because of that
we manually check each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of credible sources. Although it’s not a
factor contributing to a researcher’s position in
our ranking, the number of documents published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should form a
valuable 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 prominent and well-known bibliometric
databases of this type accessible to the scientific community. A
detailed definition of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our mission
Our mission is to motivate scientists,
companies and politicians
worldwide to investigate where prominent experts are heading
and to offer an opportunity for the whole research community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
