The 1st edition of Research.com ranking of the best researchers in the
discipline of Genetics and Molecular Biology is based on data
combined from a wide range of data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for estimating the citation-based metrics were
collected on 06-12-2021. Position in the ranking is based on a
scholar’s D-index (Discipline H-index), which
takes into account only papers and citation
data for an examined discipline.

The range of our Genetics and Molecular Biology research
Research.com’s best scholars ranking is a credible
lineup of leading scientists from the field of
Genetics and Molecular Biology, based on a thorough
examination of 166,880 scientists determined
from multiple bibliometric data sources. For the area of
Genetics and Molecular Biology, over 10151 scientists were
examined.
What is D-index approval threshold for Genetics and Molecular Biology
The D-index threshold for approving a scientist to be
considered is placed at 40 if
most of their publications are in the area of Genetics and Molecular Biology. The
inclusion factors for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index, ratio
of the contributions made within the specific area
plus the awards and achievements of the scientists. The
D-index threshold for considering leading researchers is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of researchers
projected for each area od study whilst
guaranteeing that the top 1% of best scientists are
incorporated into the ranking. We estimate a proximity of
30% or less between a scholar’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification rules
As our primary goal is to make sure that only
credible scholars are listed in
our ranking we realize that numbers are never
meant to be an absolute measure to evaluate the
work of researchers. For that reason
we manually check each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of reliable sources. While it’s not a
element defining a researcher’s position in
Research.com ranking, the amount of papers published in
major journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
reliable secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
given area of science. Position in the ranking is
determined by each scientist’s D-index
using metrics compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-known bibliometric
databases of this kind accessible to the research community. A
thorough definition of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our goal is to inspire researchers,
companies and decision-makers
worldwide to examine where leading experts are heading
and to give 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.
