The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the field
of Mathematics is based on data combined from
various data sources including OpenAlex and CrossRef. The bibliometric data for
devising 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
only includes publications and citation
metrics for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Mathematics research
Our best universities ranking is a trustworthy lineup of
leading researchers from the area of Mathematics ,
created using a meticulous examination
of 166,880 scientists determined from
a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the area of
Mathematics, more than 6262 researchers were
examined.
What is D-index approval threshold for Mathematics
The D-index threshold for approving a researcher to be
evaluated is placed at 30 if
the majority of of their publications are in the discipline of Mathematics. The
inclusion criteria for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top scientists are based on the D-index,
proportion of the publications made within the specific
field of study plus the awards and achievements of the
scientists. The D-index threshold for considering top
scholars is set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of
researchers assessed for each
area od study whilst making sure that the top 1% of
leading scientists are considered into the list.
We estimate a proximity of 30% or less between a
researcher’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification practices
As our primary aim is to ensure that only
actual scientists are mentioned in
our ranking we are aware that metrics are never
meant to be a complete measure to quantify the
contributions of scientists. This is why
we manually check each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
wide range of reliable sources. Even though it’s not a
factor contributing to a scientist’s position in
Research.com ranking, the number of documents published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should be a
reliable secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
selected area of science. Position in the ranking is
established using every researcher’s D-index
with the help of data compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-established bibliometric
databases of this kind available to the research community. A
thorough definition of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our mission
Our mission is to motivate scholars,
companies and decision-makers
around the world to examine where top experts are heading
and to offer an opportunity for the entire research community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
