The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best scholars in the
arena of Microbiology relies os data
consolidated from various 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
researcher’s D-index (Discipline H-index), which
only includes publications and citation
values for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Microbiology research
Our best researchers ranking is a trustworthy
account of leading researchers from the discipline of
Microbiology, based on a meticulous
study of 166,880 scholars determined
from various bibliometric data sources. For the area of
Microbiology, over 43737 scientists were
investigated.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Microbiology
The D-index threshold for accepting a scientist to be
evaluated is set to 40 if
the majority of of their publications are in the field of Microbiology. The
approval factors for scientists to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index, ratio
of the publications made within the specific area
in addition to the awards and achievements of the scientists. The
D-index threshold for considering best scholars is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of scientists
assessed for each area od study whilst
making sure that the top 1% of leading scholars are
considered into the ranking. We estimate a proximity of
30% or less between a researcher’s general H-index and their D-index.
Other verification practices
Because our primary mission is to guarantee that only
genuine scholars are mentioned in
the ranking we are aware that raw data are never
supposed to be an absolute means to evaluate the
work of scientists. This is why
we manually check every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of credible sources. Although it’s not a
factor contributing to a scholar’s position in
Research.com ranking, the number of papers published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should form a
credible secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
specific discipline. Position in the ranking is
based on each scholar’s D-index
according to data gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most prominent and well-established bibliometric
databases of this kind available to the research community. A
detailed explanation of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our aim is to inspire scientists,
businessmen and politicians
around the world to examine where top experts are heading
and to give a way for the entire research community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
