The second edition of Research.com’s ranking of the best scientists in the field of Mathematics is based on data compiled from a variety of sources, including OpenAlex and CrossRef.
On December 21, 2022, bibliometric data for estimating citation-based metrics were gathered.
Position in the ranking is determined by a scientist’s D-index (Discipline H-index), which only includes papers and citation values for the discipline under consideration.

Apart from the number of citations, “Position in the ranking is based on each scientist’s D-index using data compiled from OpenAlex and CrossRef, which are the most prominent and well-established bibliometric databases of this type available to the scientific community.”
The ranking organisation said its “best scientists ranking is a reliable list of leading scientists from the area of Mathematics, based on a meticulous examination of 166,880 scientists discovered from various bibliometric data sources. Over 6,262 subjects were examined in the discipline of Mathematics.”
And the “aim is to inspire scholars, entrepreneurs, and decision-makers worldwide 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 fields of research, in different countries, or even within research institutions are.”
Adenike Oladiji, the vice-chancellor, congratulated Mr Owolabi, saying he exemplifies FUTA’s niche as a research-intensive university with global reach.
