Of the four hundred and eighty-two Portuguese researchers highlighted in the 2023 edition of the Research.com thematic rankings, which annually rank the best and most influential scientists in the world in their respective areas, twenty-one are linked to DEQ.

Among the analysis criteria used to rank the researchers are the number of citations and the D-Index (Discipline H-index), a measure that estimates the degree of dependence between authors and their research environment throughout their history of scientific publications. The profile of each scientist also takes into account the number of publications and a list of their awards and achievements.

Below, you can see the full list of all DEQ researchers highlighted by Research.com, divided by subject area. The names are sorted according to the rank awarded.
