The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best scientists in the
discipline of Biology and Biochemistry is based on data
consolidated from various data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for evaluating the citation-based metrics were
collected on 21-12-2022. Position in the ranking is based on a
scholar’s D-index (Discipline H-index), which
includes exclusively publications and citation
values for an examined discipline.

The scope of our Biology and Biochemistry research
Research.com’s best scientists ranking is a credible
account of leading scholars from the area of
Biology and Biochemistry, based on a detailed
examination of 166,880 scientists discovered
from a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the area of
Biology and Biochemistry, as many as 67599 researchers were
investigated.
What is D-index approval threshold for Biology and Biochemistry
The D-index threshold for accepting a researcher to be
evaluated is established at 40 if
most of their publications are in the area of Biology and Biochemistry. The
approval factors for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top scientists are based on the D-index, ratio
of the publications made within the selected field of study
as well as the awards and achievements of the scientists. The
D-index threshold for listing leading researchers is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of scholars
assessed for each area od study whilst
making sure that the top 1% of best researchers are
considered into the list. We expect a proximity of
30% or less between a researcher’s general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification practices
Because our primary mission is to make sure that only
genuine researchers are included in
our ranking we are aware that raw data are never
meant to be a full means to quantify the
output of scholars. This is why
we manually verify every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of credible sources. Even though it’s not a
element impacting a scientist’s position in
the ranking, the amount of papers published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should be a
valuable secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
selected discipline. Position in the ranking is
established using each scientist’s D-index
according to information collected from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-established bibliometric
databases of this type open to the research community. A
detailed overview of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our goal is to inspire scholars,
companies and politicians
worldwide to examine where prominent experts are heading
and to provide a way for the entire research community to
get to know who the leading experts in specific
areas of study, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
