The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the discipline
of Engineering and Technology was created using data consolidated from
various data sources including OpenAlex and CrossRef. The bibliometric data for
estimating the citation-based metrics were acquired 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
takes into account only publications and citation
metrics for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Engineering and Technology research
Research.com’s best universities ranking is a trustworthy list of
leading scholars from the discipline of Engineering and Technology ,
established by means of a thorough examination
of 166,880 scientists identified from
multiple bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Engineering and Technology, as many as 27940 scholars were
investigated.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Engineering and Technology
The D-index threshold for approving a scholar to be
considered is placed at 30 if
most of their publications are in the field of Engineering and Technology. The
acceptance requirements for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index,
proportion of the publications made within the selected
area in addition to the awards and achievements of the
scientists. The D-index threshold for including best
researchers is set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of
scientists estimated for each
discipline whilst ensuring 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.
Extra verification methods
As our primary goal is to make sure that only
actual scholars are included in
our ranking we believe that raw data are never
meant to be a complete measure to assess the
work of scientists. For that reason
we manually inspect each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of trustworthy sources. While it’s not a
metric contributing to a scientist’s position in
the ranking, the quantity of papers published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
valuable secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
specific discipline. Position in the ranking is
determined by every scientist’s D-index
using metrics gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-established bibliometric
databases of this kind accessible to the scientific community. A
comprehensive definition of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our goal is to inspire researchers,
companies and politicians
around the world to explore where leading experts are heading
and to give an opportunity for the entire scientific community to
get to know who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
