The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best scholars in the
field of Biology and Biochemistry relies os data
derived from various data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for devising the citation-based metrics were
gathered on 21-12-2022. Position in the ranking is based on a
scientist's D-index (Discipline H-index), which
includes exclusively publications and citation
data for an examined discipline.

The range of our Biology and Biochemistry research
Our best researchers ranking is a trustworthy
lineup of leading scholars from the area of
Biology and Biochemistry, created using a detailed
examination of 166,880 scholars discovered
from a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Biology and Biochemistry, more than 67599 scholars were
examined.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Biology and Biochemistry
The D-index threshold for including a scholar to be
examined is placed at 40 if
most of their publications are in the field of Biology and Biochemistry. The
approval factors for scientists to be
considered into the ranking of top scientists are based on the D-index, ratio
of the contributions made within the specific field of study
plus the awards and achievements of the scientists. The
D-index threshold for considering best researchers is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of scholars
assessed for each scientific field whilst
making sure that the top 1% of best scientists are
considered into the ranking. We estimate a proximity of
30% or less between a scholar’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification practices
Since our main mission is to make sure that only
credible researchers are included in
our ranking we are aware that numbers are never
supposed to be a full tool to assess the
work of scientists. This is why
we manually inspect every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of reliable sources. Although it’s not a
element contributing to a researcher’s position in
Research.com ranking, the number of documents published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should be a
credible secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
specific discipline. Position in the ranking is
based on every scholar’s D-index
with the help of metrics compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-known bibliometric
databases of this type available to the scientific community. A
comprehensive explanation of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our mission is to inspire scholars,
entrepreneurs and decision-makers
around the world to investigate where prominent experts are heading
and to give an opportunity for the whole research community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
