The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best researchers in the
arena of Genetics was created using data
derived from multiple data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for devising the citation-based metrics were
collected 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
data for an examined discipline.

The scope of our Genetics research
Research.com’s best scholars ranking is a credible
list of leading scholars from the field of
Genetics, based on a thorough
examination of 166,880 researchers discovered
from various bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Genetics, as many as 5724 researchers were
investigated.
What is D-index approval threshold for Genetics
The D-index threshold for including a scholar to be
examined is established at 40 if
the majority of of their publications are in the field of Genetics. The
inclusion criteria for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top scientists are based on the D-index, proportion
of the publications made within the given area
in addition to the awards and achievements of the researchers. The
D-index threshold for including best scholars is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of scholars
assessed for each discipline whilst
making sure that the top 1% of leading researchers are
incorporated into the list. There should be a proximity of
30% or less between a scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification methods
As our leading aim is to make sure that only
actual scholars are included in
the ranking we realize that raw data are never
meant to be an absolute means to assess the
output of scholars. This is why
we manually verify every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of reliable sources. Even though it’s not a
element contributing to a researcher’s position in
Research.com ranking, the quantity of documents published in
major journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
credible secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
given discipline. Position in the ranking is
based on each scholar’s D-index
with the help of data collected from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-known bibliometric
databases of this type accessible to the research community. A
comprehensive definition of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our goal is to inspire scholars,
companies and politicians
worldwide to explore where leading experts are heading
and to offer a way for the whole scientific community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
areas of study, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
