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

The range of our Biology and Biochemistry research
Our best scholars ranking is a reliable
account of leading researchers from the area of
Biology and Biochemistry, established by means of a thorough
study of 166,880 researchers identified
from multiple bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Biology and Biochemistry, over 67599 scientists were
examined.
What is D-index approval threshold for Biology and Biochemistry
The D-index threshold for accepting a researcher to be
evaluated is placed at 40 if
most of their publications are in the area of Biology and Biochemistry. The
inclusion factors for scientists to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index, proportion
of the publications made within the selected field of study
plus the awards and achievements of the scientists. The
D-index threshold for listing top researchers is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of researchers
estimated for each scientific field 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.
Additional verification practices
As our primary goal is to guarantee that only
credible scholars are listed in
our ranking we are aware that numbers are never
supposed to be an absolute measure to quantify the
contributions of scholars. Because of that
we manually verify each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of reliable sources. While it’s not a
element defining a scientist’s position in
our ranking, the amount of documents published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should be a
valuable secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
given field of study. Position in the ranking is
based on each scientist’s D-index
using metrics compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most prominent and well-known bibliometric
databases of this kind open to the scientific community. A
thorough overview of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our mission is to inspire researchers,
entrepreneurs and decision-makers
around the world to explore where prominent experts are heading
and to provide an opportunity for the entire research community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
