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

The scope of our Biology and Biochemistry research
Our best researchers ranking is a credible
list of leading scholars from the area of
Biology and Biochemistry, based on a meticulous
analysis of 166,880 scientists discovered
from a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Biology and Biochemistry, as many as 67599 scientists were
analysed.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Biology and Biochemistry
The D-index threshold for including a researcher to be
examined is established at 40 if
the majority of of their publications are in the area of Biology and Biochemistry. The
acceptance criteria for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index, proportion
of the contributions made within the selected area
as well as the awards and achievements of the scholars. The
D-index threshold for considering best scholars is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of scientists
assessed for each discipline whilst
ensuring that the top 1% of best scientists are
added into the list. We expect a proximity of
30% or less between a scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification methods
Since our primary mission is to ensure that only
genuine scientists are mentioned in
our ranking we are aware that numbers are never
supposed to be a complete means to quantify the
work of researchers. Because of that
we manually check each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
wide range of credible sources. Although it’s not a
element impacting a scholar’s position in
Research.com ranking, the quantity of documents published in
major journals and conference proceedings should form a
reliable secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
specific discipline. Position in the ranking is
established using every researcher’s D-index
using metrics collected from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most prominent and well-known bibliometric
databases of this kind accessible to the scientific community. A
comprehensive explanation of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our mission is to inspire scholars,
businessmen and decision-makers
around the world to explore where prominent experts are heading
and to offer an opportunity for the entire research community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
areas of study, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
