The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best researchers in the
arena of Molecular Biology is based on data
derived from a wide range of data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for estimating the citation-based metrics were
acquired on 21-12-2022. Position in the ranking is based on a
researcher’s D-index (Discipline H-index), which
takes into account only publications and citation
values for an examined discipline.

The range of our Molecular Biology research
Research.com’s best researchers ranking is a credible
lineup of leading researchers from the field of
Molecular Biology, established by means of a thorough
examination of 166,880 scientists determined
from a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Molecular Biology, more than 5724 scientists were
analysed.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Molecular Biology
The D-index threshold for approving a researcher to be
evaluated is placed at 40 if
the majority of of their publications are in the field of Molecular Biology. The
inclusion requirements for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index, ratio
of the contributions made within the selected field of study
in addition to the awards and achievements of the scientists. The
D-index threshold for including best scientists is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of researchers
projected for each area od study whilst
making sure that the top 1% of leading scholars are
incorporated into the ranking. There should be a proximity of
30% or less between a researcher’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification practices
Since our primary aim is to guarantee that only
credible scientists are included in
Research.com ranking we believe that raw data are never
meant to be an absolute means to assess the
contributions of scientists. This is why
we manually inspect each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of trustworthy sources. Even though it’s not a
element impacting a scientist’s position in
the ranking, the quantity of papers published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
reliable secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
given area of science. Position in the ranking is
determined by each researcher’s D-index
according to data gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-known bibliometric
databases of this type available to the scientific community. A
thorough definition of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our mission
Our objective is to motivate scientists,
businessmen and administrative bodies
worldwide to examine where leading experts are heading
and to offer a way for the entire scientific community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
