Frequently asked

How are these lists ordered?

By the criterion stated on the page — output, or the time reported by the publisher — not by quality. Use the filters to re-rank.

Where does the data come from?

OpenAlex (CC0) and DOAJ (CC0). The current database is version 2026.11, and every figure can be recomputed from the source data.
