The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best scholars in the
field of Molecular Biology relies os data
combined from a wide range of 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
takes into account only publications and citation
data for an examined discipline.

The range of our Molecular Biology research
Our best scholars ranking is a trustworthy
account of leading researchers from the area of
Molecular Biology, created using a detailed
analysis of 166,880 scientists discovered
from various bibliometric data sources. For the area of
Molecular Biology, over 5724 scientists were
examined.
What is D-index approval threshold for Molecular Biology
The D-index threshold for including a scholar to be
considered is placed at 40 if
most of their publications are in the field of Molecular Biology. The
acceptance factors for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index, ratio
of the publications made within the given area
as well as the awards and achievements of the scientists. The
D-index threshold for considering leading scholars is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of scientists
estimated for each area od study whilst
guaranteeing that the top 1% of best scholars are
considered into the ranking. We expect a proximity of
30% or less between a researcher’s general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification practices
As our leading goal is to ensure that only
credible scientists are mentioned in
our ranking we believe that numbers are never
meant to be an absolute means to quantify the
contributions of researchers. Because of that
we manually inspect every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of trustworthy sources. Even though it’s not a
factor contributing to a researcher’s position in
the ranking, the quantity of papers published in
major journals and conference proceedings should be a
reliable secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
selected area of science. Position in the ranking is
based on every scientist’s D-index
according to information compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most credible and well-known bibliometric
databases of this type open to the scientific community. A
detailed definition of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our mission is to inspire researchers,
companies and administrative bodies
worldwide to explore where prominent experts are heading
and to offer an opportunity for the whole research community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
