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

The scope of our Immunology research
Our best universities ranking is a credible list of
leading researchers from the field of Immunology ,
based on a thorough study
of 166,880 scholars determined from
various bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Immunology, more than 8616 scientists were
examined.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Immunology
The D-index threshold for approving a scholar to be
evaluated is established at 40 if
the majority of of their publications are in the discipline of Immunology. The
acceptance criteria for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index,
proportion of the contributions made within the selected
discipline in addition to the awards and achievements of the
scholars. The D-index threshold for including leading
scientists is set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of
scientists estimated for each
scientific field whilst guaranteeing that the top 1% of
leading scientists are incorporated into the list.
We estimate a proximity of 30% or less between a
scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification practices
Because our primary mission is to make sure that only
genuine researchers are included in
Research.com ranking we are aware that metrics are never
meant to be a complete measure to assess the
work of scientists. This is why
we manually check every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of reliable sources. While it’s not a
factor defining a scientist’s position in
our ranking, the amount of documents published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
reliable secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
given discipline. Position in the ranking is
determined by every researcher’s D-index
according to data collected from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-known bibliometric
databases of this kind open to the research community. A
thorough definition of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our goal is to motivate scientists,
businessmen and decision-makers
worldwide to explore where top experts are heading
and to provide an opportunity for the whole scientific community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
