The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best scientists in the
arena of Biology and Biochemistry is based on data
combined 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
researcher’s D-index (Discipline H-index), which
only includes publications and citation
metrics for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Biology and Biochemistry research
Research.com’s best researchers ranking is a credible
account of leading scholars from the discipline of
Biology and Biochemistry, based on a thorough
examination of 166,880 researchers discovered
from various bibliometric data sources. For the area of
Biology and Biochemistry, over 67599 scholars were
examined.
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
the majority of of their publications are in the field of Biology and Biochemistry. The
acceptance criteria for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index, ratio
of the publications made within the specific field of study
as well as the awards and achievements of the researchers. The
D-index threshold for listing leading scholars is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of scientists
estimated for each area od study whilst
making sure that the top 1% of leading scientists are
considered into the list. We estimate a proximity of
30% or less between a scholar’s general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification methods
As our primary mission is to ensure that only
credible scientists are listed in
our ranking we are aware that metrics are never
supposed to be a full means to evaluate the
work of scholars. This is why
we manually check each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of credible sources. Even though it’s not a
factor defining a scientist’s position in
Research.com ranking, the quantity of documents published in
major journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
reliable secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
given field of study. Position in the ranking is
established using every researcher’s D-index
with the help of data gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-established bibliometric
databases of this type accessible to the research community. A
comprehensive overview of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our mission
Our mission is to motivate scholars,
businessmen and administrative bodies
worldwide to explore where prominent experts are heading
and to provide an opportunity for the whole research community to
get to know who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
