About the methodology of research.com
The ranking is published annually. Often, not all areas from the previous year are updated; instead, only certain areas are revised, while others are newly included.
A scientist's position in the Best Scientists Ranking is determined by their D-index (discipline H-index), which includes only the articles and citation values specific to the analyzed discipline. Other key criteria for inclusion in this ranking of top scientists include the proportion of contributions made within the respective field, as well as academic awards and achievements.
