  • The chart plots the publication count of all 19,587 Biology and Biochemistry scientists ranked by Research.com in 2026, grouped into 100 ranges running from 47–56 to 1,028+ publications.
  • Peter J.M. van Haastert, a Biology and Biochemistry scholar from University of Groningen, records 214 publications - the 55th percentile of the discipline.
  • 55% of ranked Biology and Biochemistry scientists score the same or lower than Peter J.M. van Haastert, and about 45% score higher.
  • The median of the discipline falls in the 197–206 publications range, and Peter J.M. van Haastert ranks above the median.
  • The most crowded range is 127–136 publications, holding 980 scientists (5% of the field).
  • 77% of the field sits in the lowest quarter of the value range (up to 287–296 publications), so the distribution is heavily right-skewed and high scores are rare.
