The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the discipline of
Genetics was created using data consolidated from
a wide range of data sources including OpenAlex and CrossRef. The bibliometric data for
estimating the citation-based metrics were gathered on 21-12-2022. Position
in the ranking is based on a sum of D-indexes (Discipline H-index) of all ranking
scholar’s affiliated with a given institution. D-index
takes into account only publications and citation
data for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Genetics research
Research.com’s best universities ranking is a reliable lineup of
leading scholars from the area of Genetics,
established by means of a detailed study of
166,880 researchers identified from a variety of
bibliometric data sources. For the field of Genetics, as many as
5724 researchers were examined.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Genetics
The D-index threshold for accepting a researcher to be
considered is set to 40 if
the majority of of their publications are in the field of Genetics. The
acceptance requirements for scholars to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index,
ratio of the publications made within the specific
discipline as well as the awards and achievements of the
scholars. The D-index threshold for considering best
researchers is set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of
scientists estimated for each
area od study whilst ensuring that the top 1% of
best researchers are incorporated into the list.
There should be a proximity of 30% or less between a researcher’s
general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification methods
As our main goal is to ensure that only
genuine scientists are included in
the ranking we are aware that raw data are never
supposed to be a complete measure to quantify the
output of scientists. This is why
we manually check each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of credible sources. Although it’s not a
factor defining a scholar’s position in
Research.com ranking, the amount of papers published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
reliable secondary signal of their contribution to research in a
specific area of science. Position in the ranking is
determined by every scientist’s D-index
with the help of data collected from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-established bibliometric
databases of this kind accessible to the scientific community. A
detailed definition of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our objective is to inspire scholars,
entrepreneurs and administrative bodies
around the world to investigate where top experts are heading
and to give an opportunity for the entire scientific community to
get to know who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
