The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the discipline of
Immunology is based on data consolidated from
various data sources including OpenAlex and CrossRef. The bibliometric data for
evaluating 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
researcher’s affiliated with a given institution. D-index
only includes publications and citation
metrics for an examined discipline.

The range of our Immunology research
Research.com’s best universities ranking is a trustworthy list of
leading scholars from the area of Immunology,
based on a detailed study of
166,880 scientists determined from a variety of
bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of Immunology, as many as
8616 scientists were examined.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Immunology
The D-index threshold for including a scientist to be
considered is set to 40 if
the majority of of their publications are in the area of Immunology. The
approval requirements for scientists to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index,
proportion of the publications made within the specific
area in addition to the awards and achievements of the
scholars. The D-index threshold for including best
scholars is set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of
scholars assessed for each
area od study whilst guaranteeing that the top 1% of
leading researchers are incorporated into the ranking.
There should be a proximity of 30% or less between a researcher’s
general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification methods
Since our primary aim is to make sure that only
credible researchers are listed in
Research.com ranking we realize that raw data are never
supposed to be an absolute tool to evaluate the
contributions of scientists. Because of that
we manually inspect each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of trustworthy sources. Even though it’s not a
factor contributing to a scholar’s position in
the ranking, the number of papers published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
valuable secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
specific discipline. Position in the ranking is
established using every scholar’s D-index
with the help of information gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-known bibliometric
databases of this type accessible to the scientific community. A
comprehensive explanation of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our mission is to inspire scholars,
companies and administrative bodies
worldwide to explore where top experts are heading
and to give an opportunity for the whole scientific community to
get to know who the leading experts in specific
areas of study, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
