The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best scholars in the
arena of Genetics relies os data
consolidated from various data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for estimating the citation-based metrics were
acquired on 21-12-2022. 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 range of our Genetics research
Research.com’s best researchers ranking is a reliable
lineup of leading researchers from the discipline of
Genetics, created using a detailed
study of 166,880 scientists identified
from a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the area of
Genetics, over 5724 scientists were
investigated.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Genetics
The D-index threshold for accepting a scholar to be
considered is established at 40 if
most of their publications are in the field of Genetics. The
inclusion factors for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index, ratio
of the publications made within the given area
as well as the awards and achievements of the scientists. The
D-index threshold for considering best scholars is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of scientists
assessed for each scientific field whilst
guaranteeing that the top 1% of best researchers are
added into the ranking. We estimate a proximity of
30% or less between a scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Other verification practices
Since our leading goal is to guarantee that only
actual scientists are mentioned in
the ranking we realize that numbers are never
meant to be a full means to assess the
work of scientists. For that reason
we manually verify each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of trustworthy sources. Even though it’s not a
element defining a researcher’s position in
Research.com ranking, the quantity of documents published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
credible secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
given field of study. Position in the ranking is
established using each scholar’s D-index
according to information compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most prominent and well-established bibliometric
databases of this kind open to the scientific community. A
comprehensive explanation of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our mission is to motivate researchers,
entrepreneurs and decision-makers
worldwide to investigate where prominent experts are heading
and to offer an opportunity 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.
