The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the discipline
of Neuroscience was created using data derived from
various data sources including OpenAlex and CrossRef. The bibliometric data for
evaluating 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
takes into account only papers and citation
data for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Neuroscience research
Research.com’s best universities ranking is a trustworthy lineup of
leading scientists from the discipline of Neuroscience ,
created using a thorough study
of 166,880 scholars determined from
multiple bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Neuroscience, more than 27400 scholars were
analysed.
What is D-index approval threshold for Neuroscience
The D-index threshold for accepting a researcher to be
examined is established at 30 if
most of their publications are in the field of Neuroscience. The
inclusion requirements for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top scientists are based on the D-index,
proportion of the publications made within the specific
area in addition to the awards and achievements of the
scholars. The D-index threshold for including best
researchers is set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of
scientists estimated for each
scientific field whilst making sure that the top 1% of
best scholars are incorporated into the list.
We estimate a proximity of 30% or less between a
scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification rules
Since our leading mission is to ensure that only
credible scholars are mentioned in
our ranking we realize that raw data are never
supposed to be a complete means to quantify the
contributions of researchers. This is why
we manually inspect each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of trustworthy sources. Although it’s not a
metric defining a researcher’s position in
Research.com ranking, the quantity of documents published in
major journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
valuable secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
given field of study. Position in the ranking is
determined by each researcher’s D-index
with the help of information compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-known bibliometric
databases of this type accessible to the research community. A
comprehensive overview of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our mission
Our mission is to motivate researchers,
businessmen and administrative bodies
around the world to explore where leading experts are heading
and to provide an opportunity for the entire scientific community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
