Best Plant Science and Agronomy Scientists 2026 in Thailand

A scientist’s position in this ranking is determined by their D-index (Discipline H-index), a refined metric that exclusively considers papers and citation metrics within the examined discipline, thereby providing a more accurate assessment of a researcher’s impact in Plant Science and Agronomy.

Scope of Research and Ranking Criteria

This ranking evaluates a total of 279,971 scientist profiles identified from diverse bibliometric sources across all disciplines, with a focused subset of 10 scientists specializing specifically in Plant Science and Agronomy in Thailand. To qualify for inclusion, a scientist must have a D-index of at least 30, ensuring the inclusion of only highly impactful researchers. Furthermore, the majority of a qualifying scientist’s tier publications must be situated within the Plant Science and Agronomy domain to align their ranking with demonstrated expertise in the field.

In addition to bibliometric measures, scientists’ awards and achievements relevant to Plant Science and Agronomy are also factored into the evaluation to contextualize their contributions beyond citation metrics. The D-index threshold for identifying top researchers is set in increments of 10, calibrated according to the estimated total number of scholars within each discipline, while guaranteeing the inclusion of the top 1% of leading scholars overall. Additionally, for methodological consistency, candidates are required to exhibit a proximity of 30% or less between their general H-index and their D-index, ensuring their disciplinary impact closely aligns with their overall scholarly output.

Verification Practices and Ranking Methodology

Recognizing the limitations inherent in raw bibliometric data, the Research.com team undertakes rigorous manual verification of all scientist profiles. This includes cross-correlation of publication records across a broad spectrum of trustworthy academic sources to validate the authenticity and relevance of each profile. Although the number of papers published in prominent journals and conference proceedings does not directly influence a researcher’s position in the ranking, it serves as a valuable secondary indicator of their contributions within Plant Science and Agronomy.

The final ranking positions are determined solely by each researcher’s D-index, calculated from data drawn primarily from OpenAlex and CrossRef—currently the most comprehensive and widely recognized bibliometric databases accessible to the global research community.
