Best Immunology Scientists in Belgium

The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best scientists in the discipline of Immunology is based on data combined from various data sources including OpenAlex and CrossRef. The bibliometric data for estimating the citation-based metrics were gathered on 21-12-2022. Position in the ranking is based on a scholar’s D-index (Discipline H-index), which only includes papers and citation values for an examined discipline.

The range of our Immunology research
Our best scholars ranking is a reliable lineup of leading scientists from the area of Immunology, established by means of a detailed study of 166,880 scientists identified from various bibliometric data sources. For the field of Immunology, as many as 8616 scholars were analysed.

What is D-index approval threshold for Immunology
The D-index threshold for including a researcher to be considered is placed at 40 if most of their publications are in the area of Immunology. The approval requirements for scientists to be considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index, ratio of the publications made within the given field of study in addition to the awards and achievements of the researchers. The D-index threshold for including top researchers is set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of scientists assessed for each scientific field whilst ensuring that the top 1% of leading scientists are added into the ranking. We estimate a proximity of 30% or less between a scholar’s general H-index and their D-index.

Additional verification rules
Since our leading aim is to make sure that only genuine researchers are included in the ranking we realize that metrics are never supposed to be an absolute tool to assess the work of scientists. Because of that we manually check each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a varied range of credible sources. Although it’s not a metric contributing to a scientist’s position in the ranking, the quantity of papers published in major journals and conference proceedings should form a reliable secondary signal of their contribution to research in a selected discipline. Position in the ranking is determined by each scholar’s D-index according to metrics compiled from OpenAlex and CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-known bibliometric databases of this kind available to the research community. A comprehensive explanation of our research policy can be found on our methodology page.

Our goal
Our mission is to inspire scholars, businessmen and politicians worldwide to examine where top experts are heading and to offer a way for the whole scientific community to find out who the leading experts in specific fields of research, in different countries, or even within research institutions are.
