The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the arena
of Mathematics is based on data combined 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
scientist's affiliated with a given institution. D-index
includes exclusively publications and citation
metrics for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Mathematics research
Our best universities ranking is a trustworthy list of
leading scholars from the area of Mathematics ,
based on a thorough analysis
of 166,880 scientists identified from
a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Mathematics, as many as 6262 researchers were
examined.
What is D-index approval threshold for Mathematics
The D-index threshold for approving a scientist to be
examined is set to 30 if
the majority of of their publications are in the discipline of Mathematics. The
approval factors for scientists to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index,
proportion of the contributions made within the specific
field of study as well as the awards and achievements of the
researchers. The D-index threshold for listing top
researchers is set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of
scientists assessed for each
area od study whilst ensuring that the top 1% of
leading researchers are considered into the ranking.
There should be a proximity of 30% or less between a
scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification practices
As our main goal is to guarantee that only
genuine scholars are listed in
our ranking we believe that metrics are never
meant to be a complete measure to quantify the
work of researchers. This is why
we manually check every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of credible sources. While it’s not a
element contributing to a scholar’s position in
our ranking, the quantity of documents published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
credible secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
specific field of study. Position in the ranking is
determined by each scientist’s D-index
according to data gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-established bibliometric
databases of this type accessible to the scientific community. A
comprehensive overview of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our objective is to inspire scientists,
companies and administrative bodies
around the world to investigate where top experts are heading
and to provide an opportunity for the whole research community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
