Research.com is a platform that provides information to scientists about the quality of scientific forums such as conferences and journals, as well as institutions. It also provides a list of the best scientists, ranked by their D-index which takes into account only publications and citation data for an examined discipline, compiled from various bibliometric data sources. The metrics for h-index, citations, awards, and publications presented in the 2024 edition (the 10th) of this ranking were last updated on November 21, 2023. The ranking is based on a thorough examination of 166,880 scholars discovered from a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the area of Computer Science, more than 27337 scientists were analysed. The approval factors for scientists to be considered for the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index, the proportion of the publications made within the given discipline, in addition to the awards and achievements of the scholars.
