The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best scholars in the
discipline of Genetics is based on data
derived from a wide range of data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for estimating the citation-based metrics were
collected on 21-12-2022. Position in the ranking is based on a
scientist's D-index (Discipline H-index), which
includes exclusively papers and citation
metrics for an examined discipline.

The scope of our Genetics research
Our best researchers ranking is a trustworthy
account of leading scientists from the discipline of
Genetics, established by means of a meticulous
analysis of 166,880 scholars determined
from various bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Genetics, more than 5724 scholars were
analysed.
What is D-index approval threshold for Genetics
The D-index threshold for accepting a researcher to be
considered is set to 40 if
most of their publications are in the area of Genetics. The
inclusion requirements for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index, ratio
of the publications made within the selected discipline
in addition to the awards and achievements of the scientists. The
D-index threshold for considering top scientists is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of researchers
assessed for each discipline whilst
guaranteeing that the top 1% of best 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.
Extra verification practices
Since our primary aim is to make sure that only
credible researchers are mentioned in
Research.com ranking we believe that numbers are never
supposed to be a full means to evaluate the
output 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
factor impacting a scholar’s position in
Research.com ranking, the amount of documents published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
reliable secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
specific field of study. Position in the ranking is
based on every researcher’s D-index
according to metrics collected from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most prominent and well-known bibliometric
databases of this type available to the scientific community. A
detailed definition of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our goal is to motivate scholars,
businessmen and administrative bodies
around the world to examine where top experts are heading
and to give a way for the whole research community to
get to know who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
