The academic portal Research.com aims to make it easier for professors, research fellows and doctoral and master’s students to progress their research and keep them updated on conferences around the world and publications related to their fields.
Research.com published, between April and May 2023, the second edition of the ranking of “best scientists” in the various areas of knowledge. The position of each researcher is based on the H-index of each discipline (Discipline H-index), in proportion to their contributions made in a given discipline, awards and experimentation of the scientist in specific areas of the previous year, 2022. The D-Index ranks researchers in descending order combined with the total number of citations.
In addition, the portal also features rankings of the best universities in the world and in each country, the best scientific journals and the best scientific conferences, all classified by area of knowledge.
The University of São Paulo was in 1st place in the national ranking in the mathematics area, with five researchers from the university among the best, and in position 149 in the world ranking.
