Abstract: The paper presents the world ranking of Flying Cars researchers for 2025. The ranking is presented
primarily according to the researchers' h-index. Researchers with matching h-index are ranked by the number of
citations. The h-index can be determined from the following online databases: Web of Science, Scopus, Google
Scholar and the Publish or Perish program. The h-index, also known as the Hirsch index, is based on references. The
ranking will be edited using the Google Scholar web database. Google Scholar is Google's scientific search engine,
launched in 2004. We also present the Orcid ID number of the researchers.
Key Words: Flaying Cars researchers, world rankings, h-index, citations, Google Scholar, Orcid ID.
1. INTRODUCTION
Scientific metrics is essential to measure the quantity and quality of scientific output. Science metrics measures
the: - quantity of scientific publications - the number of publications and
- their quality:
citation rate,
h-index,
g-index.
The paper presents the world ranking of Flying Cars researchers for 2025. An effective way to measure scientific
performance is to measure citations, because if someone is cited by other scientists a lot, they are probably a better
researcher. The ranking of researchers is primarily presented according to the h-index of researchers.
The h-index is the largest number h, indicating that h number of publications contain at least h citations. It can
be determined from the following online databases:
Web of Science,
Scopus,
Google Scholar and
Publish or Perish.
The h-index, also known as the Hirsch index, is based on references. The h-index was published by physicist
Jorge E. Hirsch (University of California, San Diego) in 2005:
"A scientist has index hif h of his/her N papers have at least h citations each, and the other (N-h) papers have no more
than h citations each".
Thus, the h-index is the highest h number, indicating that h publications have at least h citations, and all other
scientific publications have, by definition, less than h citations. Hirsch suggested that the index was originally intended
to compare individual performance only, but that it could also be used to determine the h-index of:
- research groups,
- journals,
- disciplines,
- institutions and
- countries.
The original h-index does not distinguish between dependent and independent citations, i.e. it also takes self-
citations into account.
In the case of a matching h-index, researchers are ranked by the number of citations. The ranking is constructed using
the Google Scholar database [1]. Google Scholar is Google's scientific search engine, launched in 2004, which displays the
researcher's scientific publications, citations, h-index and i10-index.
The first chapter is the introduction, the second chapter presents the 2025 world ranking of Flying Cars [2-20]
researchers and the third chapter summarises the results of my research.

2. 2025 WORLD RANKING OF FLYING CARS RESEARCHERS
The 2025 world ranking of Flying Cars researchers is presented primarily by the h-index of researchers. The ranking
has been constructed using the Google Scholar database.
Researchers with matching h-index are ranked by the number of citations [21-29]. 8 researchers are included in the
ranked list [30-40]. We also present the Orcid ID number of the researchers.

3. CONCLUSIONS
The paper presented the world ranking of Flying Cars researchers for 2025. The ranking is presented primarily
according to the researchers' h-index. Researchers with matching h-index are ranked by the number of citations. The
ranking has been constructed using the Google Scholar web database.
