The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the arena
of Medicine was created using data consolidated from
various data sources including OpenAlex and CrossRef. The bibliometric data for
estimating the citation-based metrics were gathered 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
data for an examined discipline.

The range of our Medicine research
Our best universities ranking is a credible list of
leading scholars from the area of Medicine ,
established by means of a detailed examination
of 166,880 researchers identified from
multiple bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Medicine, over 68936 researchers were
analysed.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Medicine
The D-index threshold for accepting a researcher to be
evaluated is set to 70 if
most of their publications are in the field of Medicine. The
acceptance requirements for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index,
proportion of the publications made within the specific
discipline in addition to the awards and achievements of the
researchers. The D-index threshold for including top
scholars is set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of
scholars projected for each
discipline whilst ensuring that the top 1% of
leading scholars are added into the list.
We estimate a proximity of 30% or less between a
scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification rules
As our main mission is to ensure that only
credible scholars are listed in
Research.com ranking we are aware that numbers are never
supposed to be an absolute means to evaluate the
output of scientists. For that reason
we manually verify every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of reliable sources. Even though it’s not a
factor impacting a researcher’s position in
the ranking, the amount of papers published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should form a
valuable secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
given area of science. Position in the ranking is
determined by each scholar’s D-index
with the help of metrics gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-established bibliometric
databases of this kind accessible to the scientific community. A
comprehensive explanation of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our mission
Our objective is to motivate scientists,
businessmen and decision-makers
around the world to examine where prominent experts are heading
and to provide a way for the entire scientific community to
get to know who the leading experts in specific
areas of study, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
