The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the discipline
of Mathematics relies os data combined from
a wide range of data sources including OpenAlex and CrossRef. The bibliometric data for
estimating the citation-based metrics were acquired 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
only includes publications and citation
data for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Mathematics research
Research.com’s best universities ranking is a credible list of
leading researchers from the area of Mathematics ,
established by means of a meticulous analysis
of 166,880 scientists discovered from
multiple bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Mathematics, more than 6262 researchers were
investigated.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Mathematics
The D-index threshold for accepting a scientist to be
evaluated is placed at 30 if
most of their publications are in the area of Mathematics. The
acceptance factors for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top scientists are based on the D-index,
proportion of the contributions made within the given
discipline in addition to the awards and achievements of the
researchers. The D-index threshold for listing leading
scholars is set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of
scholars assessed for each
scientific field whilst making sure that the top 1% of
best researchers are considered into the ranking.
We expect a proximity of 30% or less between a
scholar’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification practices
As our primary goal is to make sure that only
actual scholars are included in
our ranking we believe that raw data are never
supposed to be an absolute means to quantify the
output of researchers. For that reason
we manually check each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of credible sources. Even though it’s not a
element defining a researcher’s position in
Research.com ranking, the quantity of documents published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should form a
credible secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
given field of study. Position in the ranking is
based on every researcher’s D-index
with the help of data compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-known bibliometric
databases of this type available to the research community. A
thorough definition of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our mission is to inspire scientists,
entrepreneurs and administrative bodies
around the world to investigate where leading experts are heading
and to provide an opportunity for the entire research community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
