The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the arena
of Engineering and Technology relies os data consolidated from
a wide range of 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
only includes publications and citation
values for an examined discipline.

The range of our Engineering and Technology research
Research.com’s best universities ranking is a trustworthy lineup of
leading researchers from the field of Engineering and Technology ,
based on a thorough study
of 166,880 scientists determined from
a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Engineering and Technology, as many as 27940 scholars were
examined.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Engineering and Technology
The D-index threshold for accepting a researcher to be
considered is placed at 30 if
the majority of of their publications are in the field of Engineering and Technology. The
acceptance factors for scientists to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index,
ratio of the contributions made within the specific
discipline plus the awards and achievements of the
researchers. The D-index threshold for including leading
scientists is set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of
scientists assessed for each
discipline whilst making sure that the top 1% of
best scholars are incorporated into the ranking.
We estimate a proximity of 30% or less between a
scholar’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification methods
As our main mission is to ensure that only
genuine researchers are mentioned in
the ranking we believe that numbers are never
meant to be an absolute tool to quantify the
contributions of scholars. For that reason
we manually check each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
wide range of credible sources. Although it’s not a
metric impacting a scholar’s position in
our ranking, the amount of documents published in
major journals and conference proceedings should form a
reliable secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
given area of science. Position in the ranking is
established using each researcher’s D-index
according to information compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most prominent and well-established bibliometric
databases of this type accessible to the scientific community. A
thorough definition of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our objective is to inspire scientists,
entrepreneurs and decision-makers
around the world to examine where prominent experts are heading
and to offer an opportunity for the whole research community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
