The 1st edition of Research.com ranking of the best researchers in the
field of Genetics and Molecular Biology was created using data
consolidated from various 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
scholar’s D-index (Discipline H-index), which
includes exclusively papers and citation
metrics for an examined discipline.

The scope of our Genetics and Molecular Biology research
Research.com’s best scientists ranking is a trustworthy
account of leading scholars from the discipline of
Genetics and Molecular Biology, created using a meticulous
analysis of 166,880 researchers determined
from various bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Genetics and Molecular Biology, over 10151 researchers were
investigated.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Genetics and Molecular Biology
The D-index threshold for approving a scientist to be
examined is placed at 40 if
most of their publications are in the discipline of Genetics and Molecular Biology. The
inclusion criteria for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index, ratio
of the publications made within the specific discipline
in addition to the awards and achievements of the scholars. The
D-index threshold for including top scientists is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of researchers
assessed for each discipline whilst
making sure that the top 1% of best scientists are
incorporated into the list. There should be a proximity of
30% or less between a researcher’s general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification rules
Because our main goal is to ensure that only
genuine researchers are mentioned in
Research.com ranking we believe that raw data are never
meant to be a full measure to quantify the
output of researchers. Because of that
we manually inspect every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of credible sources. Although it’s not a
metric contributing to a scientist’s position in
our ranking, the number of documents published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should form a
credible secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
given discipline. Position in the ranking is
based on every researcher’s D-index
with the help of data compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-established bibliometric
databases of this type available to the research community. A
comprehensive explanation of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our objective is to motivate scholars,
companies and politicians
around the world to investigate where top experts are heading
and to provide an opportunity for the whole scientific community to
get to know who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
