The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the arena of
Medicine relies os data combined from
multiple data sources including OpenAlex and CrossRef. The bibliometric data for
evaluating 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
takes into account only papers and citation
data for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Medicine research
Our best universities ranking is a credible account of
leading researchers from the field of Medicine,
based on a meticulous analysis of
166,880 researchers discovered from various
bibliometric data sources. For the area of Medicine, more than
68936 scholars were investigated.
What is D-index approval threshold for Medicine
The D-index threshold for approving a researcher to be
evaluated is placed at 70 if
most of their publications are in the field of Medicine. The
acceptance criteria for scientists to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index,
ratio of the publications made within the specific
discipline as well as the awards and achievements of the
scientists. The D-index threshold for listing top
scholars is set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of
scientists projected for each
scientific field whilst ensuring that the top 1% of
best scholars are added into the ranking.
There should be a proximity of 30% or less between a researcher’s
general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification rules
As our leading goal is to guarantee that only
genuine researchers are listed in
Research.com ranking we believe that numbers are never
meant to be a full measure to evaluate the
output of researchers. This is why
we manually verify each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of credible sources. Even though it’s not a
element contributing to a scholar’s position in
Research.com ranking, the amount of documents published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should form a
reliable secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
given area of science. Position in the ranking is
established using every scholar’s D-index
using metrics compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most prominent and well-known bibliometric
databases of this kind accessible to the scientific community. A
detailed definition of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our objective is to inspire researchers,
businessmen and decision-makers
worldwide to examine where top experts are heading
and to give a way for the entire research community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
areas of study, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
