The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the field
of Environmental Sciences is based on data consolidated from
multiple 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
scientist's affiliated with a given institution. D-index
includes exclusively papers and citation
values for an examined discipline.

The scope of our Environmental Sciences research
Our best universities ranking is a trustworthy lineup of
leading researchers from the discipline of Environmental Sciences ,
created using a detailed examination
of 166,880 scientists discovered from
multiple bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Environmental Sciences, more than 11258 scholars were
investigated.
What is D-index approval threshold for Environmental Sciences
The D-index threshold for including a scholar to be
examined is established at 30 if
most of their publications are in the area of Environmental Sciences. The
inclusion criteria for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index,
proportion of the publications made within the given
discipline 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
scholars assessed for each
scientific field whilst making sure that the top 1% of
leading scientists are incorporated into the ranking.
We estimate a proximity of 30% or less between a
researcher’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification practices
Because our primary mission is to ensure that only
genuine researchers are mentioned in
Research.com ranking we are aware that metrics are never
meant to be a complete tool to evaluate the
output of researchers. Because of that
we manually inspect each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of credible sources. While it’s not a
factor defining a scientist’s position in
Research.com ranking, the amount of documents published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
reliable secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
given area of science. Position in the ranking is
based on every scholar’s D-index
using data collected from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-known bibliometric
databases of this type accessible to the research community. A
detailed overview of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our mission is to motivate scientists,
companies and politicians
worldwide to explore where top experts are heading
and to provide an opportunity for the entire scientific community to
get to know who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
