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

The focus of our Mathematics research
Research.com’s best universities ranking is a reliable lineup of
leading scholars from the field of Mathematics ,
created using a meticulous study
of 166,880 scientists determined from
various bibliometric data sources. For the area of
Mathematics, as many as 6262 scientists were
investigated.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Mathematics
The D-index threshold for accepting a scientist to be
considered is established at 30 if
the majority of of their publications are in the field of Mathematics. The
acceptance factors for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top scientists are based on the D-index,
ratio of the publications made within the given
area as well as the awards and achievements of the
scholars. The D-index threshold for considering leading
researchers is set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of
scholars projected for each
discipline whilst guaranteeing that the top 1% of
best scholars are considered into the ranking.
We estimate a proximity of 30% or less between a
researcher’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification methods
As our main mission is to guarantee that only
actual researchers are listed in
Research.com ranking we are aware that metrics are never
supposed to be a full measure to evaluate the
contributions of researchers. For that reason
we manually check each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of trustworthy sources. While it’s not a
metric impacting a scientist’s position in
the ranking, the quantity of papers published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should be a
credible secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
selected area of science. Position in the ranking is
determined by every scientist’s D-index
using metrics collected from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-established bibliometric
databases of this kind accessible to the research community. A
comprehensive overview of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our aim is to motivate scientists,
entrepreneurs and decision-makers
around the world to investigate where leading experts are heading
and to give an opportunity for the whole scientific community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
