The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best researchers in the
arena of Microbiology is based on data
combined from various data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for evaluating 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
includes exclusively publications and citation
values for an examined discipline.

The range of our Microbiology research
Research.com’s best scholars ranking is a credible
list of leading scholars from the discipline of
Microbiology, created using a meticulous
study of 166,880 scientists discovered
from multiple bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Microbiology, more than 43737 scientists were
examined.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Microbiology
The D-index threshold for accepting a scholar to be
considered is placed at 40 if
the majority of of their publications are in the discipline of Microbiology. The
approval requirements for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index, proportion
of the publications made within the specific discipline
in addition to the awards and achievements of the scholars. The
D-index threshold for listing leading scholars is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of scientists
estimated for each discipline whilst
ensuring that the top 1% of best researchers are
added into the list. There should be a proximity of
30% or less between a researcher’s general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification methods
Since our leading mission is to guarantee that only
genuine researchers are included in
our ranking we are aware that numbers are never
meant to be a full tool to assess the
work of scholars. For that reason
we manually check every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of credible sources. Although it’s not a
factor defining a scientist’s position in
the ranking, the amount of documents published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should form a
valuable secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
selected discipline. Position in the ranking is
established using each scholar’s D-index
using data collected from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-known bibliometric
databases of this type available to the scientific community. A
thorough explanation of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our aim is to motivate researchers,
companies and politicians
worldwide to investigate where leading experts are heading
and to provide an opportunity for the entire research community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
