The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the discipline
of Engineering and Technology is based on data combined from
a wide range of data sources including OpenAlex and CrossRef. The bibliometric data for
evaluating 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
scholar’s affiliated with a given institution. D-index
takes into account only publications and citation
values for an examined discipline.

The scope of our Engineering and Technology research
Research.com’s best universities ranking is a credible lineup of
leading scientists from the discipline of Engineering and Technology ,
based on a detailed examination
of 166,880 scholars discovered from
a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Engineering and Technology, more than 27940 researchers were
analysed.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Engineering and Technology
The D-index threshold for accepting a scholar to be
evaluated is established at 30 if
the majority of of their publications are in the discipline of Engineering and Technology. The
approval criteria for scientists to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index,
proportion of the publications made within the selected
discipline as well as the awards and achievements of the
scientists. The D-index threshold for including best
scholars is set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of
researchers estimated for each
discipline whilst making sure that the top 1% of
leading scientists are incorporated into the ranking.
We expect a proximity of 30% or less between a
scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification methods
Because our primary goal is to ensure that only
credible researchers are mentioned in
Research.com ranking we believe that numbers are never
meant to be a full tool to evaluate the
work of researchers. Because of that
we manually check each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of reliable sources. Even though it’s not a
factor impacting a researcher’s position in
the ranking, the quantity of documents published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should be a
valuable secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
given field of study. Position in the ranking is
determined by every scholar’s D-index
using data gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most prominent and well-known bibliometric
databases of this type accessible to the research community. A
detailed overview of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our objective is to inspire scholars,
companies and administrative bodies
around the world to examine where leading experts are heading
and to offer an opportunity for the entire research community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
