The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the field
of Mathematics relies os data derived from
various 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
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
Our best universities ranking is a reliable lineup of
leading researchers from the area of Mathematics ,
based on a meticulous analysis
of 166,880 researchers determined from
multiple bibliometric data sources. For the area of
Mathematics, over 6262 scholars were
analysed.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Mathematics
The D-index threshold for approving a scholar to be
examined is placed at 30 if
most of their publications are in the discipline of Mathematics. The
inclusion factors for scientists to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars 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 including leading
scientists is set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of
scientists assessed for each
scientific field whilst guaranteeing that the top 1% of
best scholars are added into the list.
There should be a proximity of 30% or less between a
scholar’s general H-index and their D-index.
Other verification practices
As our primary goal is to make sure that only
actual scholars are mentioned in
Research.com ranking we are aware that metrics are never
supposed to be an absolute means to evaluate the
work of scholars. Because of that
we manually inspect each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
wide range of reliable sources. Even though it’s not a
element defining a scholar’s position in
the ranking, the amount of papers published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should be a
valuable secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
given field of study. Position in the ranking is
determined by each scholar’s D-index
according to data compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-established bibliometric
databases of this type accessible to the scientific community. A
thorough overview of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our mission
Our objective is to inspire scholars,
entrepreneurs and administrative bodies
worldwide to examine where prominent experts are heading
and to give an opportunity for the whole research community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
