The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the field
of Biology and Biochemistry relies os data combined from
various 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 sum of D-indexes (Discipline H-index) of all ranking
researcher’s affiliated with a given institution. D-index
includes exclusively publications and citation
metrics for an examined discipline.

The range of our Biology and Biochemistry research
Research.com’s best universities ranking is a credible lineup of
leading scientists from the discipline of Biology and Biochemistry ,
established by means of a meticulous analysis
of 166,880 researchers determined from
a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the area of
Biology and Biochemistry, over 67599 scholars were
investigated.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Biology and Biochemistry
The D-index threshold for accepting a scholar to be
examined is established at 40 if
the majority of of their publications are in the field of Biology and Biochemistry. The
approval factors for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index,
ratio of the publications made within the selected
discipline plus the awards and achievements of the
scholars. The D-index threshold for listing best
scholars is set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of
researchers projected for each
scientific field whilst ensuring that the top 1% of
best scholars are incorporated into the ranking.
We expect a proximity of 30% or less between a
scholar’s general H-index and their D-index.
Other verification methods
Because our main mission is to make sure that only
actual scholars are mentioned in
Research.com ranking we believe that metrics are never
meant to be a full tool to quantify the
work of researchers. For that reason
we manually inspect every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of reliable sources. Even though it’s not a
metric impacting a scientist’s position in
our ranking, the quantity of papers published in
major journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
credible secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
selected area of science. Position in the ranking is
established using every researcher’s D-index
with the help of metrics compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most prominent and well-known bibliometric
databases of this kind open to the scientific community. A
comprehensive definition of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our mission
Our goal is to inspire researchers,
entrepreneurs and decision-makers
worldwide to examine where top experts are heading
and to provide a way for the entire research community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
