The 1st edition of Research.com ranking of the best scholars in the
field of Genetics and Molecular Biology was created using data
derived from various data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for devising the citation-based metrics were
gathered on 06-12-2021. Position in the ranking is based on a
scientist's D-index (Discipline H-index), which
takes into account only papers 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 scholars from the field of
Genetics and Molecular Biology, based on a detailed
analysis of 166,880 scientists determined
from a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Genetics and Molecular Biology, as many as 10151 researchers were
analysed.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Genetics and Molecular Biology
The D-index threshold for including a researcher to be
evaluated is established at 40 if
most of their publications are in the field of Genetics and Molecular Biology. The
approval factors for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index, ratio
of the publications made within the specific discipline
as well as the awards and achievements of the scientists. The
D-index threshold for considering best researchers is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of scholars
estimated for each scientific field whilst
guaranteeing that the top 1% of leading researchers are
considered into the list. We estimate a proximity of
30% or less between a scholar’s general H-index and their D-index.
Other verification practices
As our primary mission is to ensure that only
genuine scholars are included in
our ranking we believe that numbers are never
meant to be an absolute measure to quantify the
output of scholars. Because of that
we manually inspect each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
wide range of reliable sources. Even though it’s not a
element defining a researcher’s position in
Research.com ranking, the amount of documents published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should form a
valuable secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
selected discipline. Position in the ranking is
determined by each scholar’s D-index
with the help of information compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-established bibliometric
databases of this type accessible to the research community. A
thorough explanation of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our goal is to inspire scientists,
businessmen and decision-makers
around the world to investigate where prominent experts are heading
and to provide a way for the entire scientific community to
get to know who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
