The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the field of
Engineering and Technology was created using data derived from
multiple data sources including OpenAlex and CrossRef. The bibliometric data for
devising 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
scientist's affiliated with a given institution. D-index
only includes papers and citation
values for an examined discipline.

The range of our Engineering and Technology research
Research.com’s best universities ranking is a trustworthy account of
leading scientists from the area of Engineering and Technology,
created using a meticulous analysis of
166,880 scholars discovered from multiple
bibliometric data sources. For the area of Engineering and Technology, over
27940 scholars were examined.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Engineering and Technology
The D-index threshold for approving a scholar to be
considered is set to 30 if
most of their publications are in the area of Engineering and Technology. The
approval factors for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index,
ratio of the publications made within the specific
area in addition to the awards and achievements of the
scientists. The D-index threshold for listing best
scientists is set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of
scientists estimated for each
discipline whilst making sure that the top 1% of
leading researchers are considered into the ranking.
There should be a proximity of 30% or less between a scientist’s
general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification methods
Since our leading mission is to make sure that only
credible scholars are included in
the ranking we are aware that numbers are never
supposed to be a full tool to assess the
output of researchers. Because of that
we manually verify every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of reliable sources. Although it’s not a
element contributing to a scholar’s position in
the ranking, the amount of documents published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should form a
reliable secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
given field of study. Position in the ranking is
established using each researcher’s D-index
using data gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most prominent and well-established bibliometric
databases of this type open to the scientific community. A
comprehensive overview of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our goal is to motivate scientists,
entrepreneurs and decision-makers
around the world to examine where leading experts are heading
and to provide a way for the entire research community to
get to know who the leading experts in specific
areas of study, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
