The 1st edition of Research.com ranking of the best scholars in the
field of Genetics and Molecular Biology relies os data
consolidated from a wide range of data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for evaluating the citation-based metrics were
gathered on 06-12-2021. 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 focus of our Genetics and Molecular Biology research
Research.com’s best scholars ranking is a trustworthy
lineup of leading scientists from the area of
Genetics and Molecular Biology, based on a meticulous
analysis of 166,880 researchers determined
from a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Genetics and Molecular Biology, over 10151 scholars were
investigated.
What is D-index approval threshold for Genetics and Molecular Biology
The D-index threshold for including a researcher to be
examined is set to 40 if
the majority of of their publications are in the area of Genetics and Molecular Biology. The
approval requirements for scientists to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index, ratio
of the publications made within the given area
plus the awards and achievements of the researchers. The
D-index threshold for including leading scholars is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of researchers
estimated for each discipline whilst
making sure that the top 1% of leading scientists are
added into the ranking. We expect a proximity of
30% or less between a scholar’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification rules
As our leading aim is to make sure that only
genuine scholars are mentioned in
our ranking we believe that metrics are never
meant to be a complete tool to evaluate the
contributions of scientists. For that reason
we manually verify each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of reliable sources. Even though it’s not a
factor defining a researcher’s position in
Research.com ranking, the quantity of papers published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should form a
credible secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
given discipline. Position in the ranking is
based on each scientist’s D-index
according to data collected from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most prominent and well-known bibliometric
databases of this type accessible to the research community. A
detailed explanation of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our mission is to inspire scholars,
entrepreneurs and decision-makers
around the world to investigate where top experts are heading
and to give an opportunity for the entire research community to
get to know who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
