Best Medicine Scientists 2026 in Indonesia

A scientist’s placement in the ranking is determined primarily by their D-index (Discipline H-index), which quantifies only those publications and corresponding citations relevant to the specific discipline under consideration—in this case, Medicine. The D-index thus provides a focused and precise measure of a researcher’s impact within their field.

Scope and Research Criteria

The current edition of the ranking comprehensively examined 279,971 scientist profiles from a broad spectrum of bibliometric sources, spanning all academic disciplines. Within the domain of Medicine specifically, only 1 scientist met the qualifying criteria for inclusion.

Eligibility for the Medicine ranking was predicated on the following requirements:

• A minimum D-index threshold of 70.
• The majority of indexed publications must be in the area of Medicine.
• Consideration of scientists’ awards and achievements specific to the Medicine field.
• The D-index threshold is calibrated (in increments of 10) according to the number of scholars within each discipline, ensuring that the top 1% of leading scholars are incorporated into the list.
• A maximum proximity of 30% or less between a scholar’s general H-index and their D-index to guarantee discipline relevance and accuracy.

Verification and Quality Assurance Practices

The team curating the Research.com rankings recognizes that bibliometric data, while invaluable, is inherently imperfect and should not be used as the sole instrument for evaluating scientific performance. To address this, all scientist profiles were subject to rigorous manual verification. Information was cross-referenced across an extensive range of reputable scholarly publication sources to ensure correctness and completeness.

Although the number of publications in top-tier journals and conference proceedings does not factor directly into ranking positions, this metric offers a valuable secondary indicator of a scientist’s influence and contributions within their research domain. The ranking positions are ultimately determined by the D-index, using validated bibliometric information from OpenAlex and CrossRef—the two preeminent data repositories of their kind.
