The 1st edition of Research.com ranking of the best researchers in the
arena of Microbiology is based on data
derived from a wide range of data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for devising the citation-based metrics were
gathered on 06-12-2021. Position in the ranking is based on a
researcher’s D-index (Discipline H-index), which
includes exclusively publications and citation
metrics for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Microbiology research
Research.com’s best scientists ranking is a credible
list of leading scholars from the area of
Microbiology, based on a thorough
analysis of 166,880 scholars determined
from a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Microbiology, more than 5780 scientists were
examined.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Microbiology
The D-index threshold for including a researcher to be
examined is set to 40 if
the majority of of their publications are in the discipline of Microbiology. The
inclusion factors for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index, proportion
of the publications made within the specific area
as well as the awards and achievements of the scientists. The
D-index threshold for listing leading researchers is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of scientists
projected for each discipline whilst
guaranteeing that the top 1% of best scientists are
added into the list. We estimate a proximity of
30% or less between a researcher’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification methods
Since our primary goal is to ensure that only
credible scholars are mentioned in
our ranking we believe that raw data are never
supposed to be an absolute measure to evaluate the
work of researchers. For that reason
we manually check every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of reliable sources. Even though it’s not a
factor impacting a researcher’s position in
the ranking, the amount of papers published in
major journals and conference proceedings should be a
credible secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
given field of study. Position in the ranking is
established using every scholar’s D-index
using data compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most prominent and well-established bibliometric
databases of this type accessible to the research community. A
comprehensive definition of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our mission is to inspire scientists,
entrepreneurs and decision-makers
worldwide to explore where prominent experts are heading
and to offer a way for the whole scientific community to
get to know who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
