What is D-index inclusion threshold for Medicine
The D-index threshold for approving a researcher to be examined is placed at 70 if the majority of of their publications are in the field of Medicine. The acceptance requirements for scholars 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 considering leading researchers is set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of researchers assessed for each scientific field whilst making sure that the top 1% of best scientists are added into the ranking. We estimate a proximity of 30% or less between a scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.

Extra verification methods
As our primary aim is to make sure that only credible researchers are included in the ranking we are aware that numbers are never meant to be a complete means to evaluate the work of researchers. Because of that we manually check every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a varied range of trustworthy sources. Even though it’s not a factor impacting a scientist’s position in our ranking, the amount of documents published in major journals and conference proceedings should constitute a reliable secondary implication of their contribution to research in a selected discipline. Position in the ranking is established using every scholar’s D-index with the help of metrics collected from OpenAlex and CrossRef, which are the most prominent and well-established bibliometric databases of this kind accessible to the scientific community. A detailed overview of our research process can be found on our methodology page.

Our agenda
Our goal is to inspire researchers, businessmen and decision-makers around the world to explore where prominent experts are heading and to offer a way for the whole scientific community to get to know who the leading experts in specific fields of research, in different countries, or even within research institutions are.
