The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the discipline
of Environmental Sciences was created using data derived from
multiple data sources including OpenAlex and CrossRef. The bibliometric data for
estimating the citation-based metrics were gathered 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
includes exclusively papers and citation
values for an examined discipline.

The range of our Environmental Sciences research
Research.com’s best universities ranking is a credible lineup of
leading scientists from the area of Environmental Sciences ,
based on a thorough examination
of 166,880 researchers identified from
various bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Environmental Sciences, more than 11258 scientists were
analysed.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Environmental Sciences
The D-index threshold for approving a researcher to be
evaluated is placed at 30 if
most of their publications are in the area of Environmental Sciences. The
inclusion 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 specific
field of study as well as the awards and achievements of the
scientists. The D-index threshold for listing top
scholars is set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of
researchers assessed for each
discipline whilst ensuring that the top 1% of
best scientists are considered into the ranking.
We estimate a proximity of 30% or less between a
scholar’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification rules
Because our main goal is to make sure that only
actual researchers are mentioned in
our ranking we realize that metrics are never
supposed to be a complete measure 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. While it’s not a
factor contributing to a researcher’s position in
our ranking, the number of papers published in
major journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
valuable secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
specific field of study. Position in the ranking is
determined by each scientist’s D-index
using data compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-established bibliometric
databases of this kind open to the scientific community. A
thorough overview of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our objective is to inspire scholars,
businessmen and administrative bodies
worldwide to explore where prominent experts are heading
and to give 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.
