The 1st edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the discipline
of Neuroscience was created using data consolidated from
various data sources including OpenAlex and CrossRef. The bibliometric data for
estimating the citation-based metrics were acquired on 06-12-2021.
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 publications and citation
data for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Neuroscience research
Our best universities ranking is a credible list of
leading scientists from the area of Neuroscience ,
established by means of a thorough examination
of 166,880 scientists determined from
a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the area of
Neuroscience, over 9233 scholars were
examined.
What is D-index approval threshold for Neuroscience
The D-index threshold for approving a researcher to be
examined is placed at 30 if
the majority of of their publications are in the area of Neuroscience. The
acceptance factors for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top scientists are based on the D-index,
ratio of the contributions made within the specific
area plus the awards and achievements of the
scholars. The D-index threshold for including best
scholars is set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of
scientists assessed for each
discipline whilst making sure that the top 1% of
leading researchers are added into the ranking.
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 goal is to guarantee that only
actual scientists are mentioned in
Research.com ranking we realize that metrics are never
meant to be a complete means to assess the
work of researchers. This is why
we manually inspect every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
wide range of reliable sources. While it’s not a
metric contributing to a scientist’s position in
our ranking, the quantity of documents published in
major journals and conference proceedings should form a
valuable secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
selected area of science. Position in the ranking is
based on each scientist’s D-index
with the help of metrics collected from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-known bibliometric
databases of this type accessible to the scientific community. A
detailed overview of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our mission is to inspire scientists,
entrepreneurs and politicians
worldwide to explore where prominent experts are heading
and to give a way for the whole scientific community to
get to know who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
