The 1st edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the discipline
of Genetics and Molecular Biology relies os data consolidated from
various data sources including OpenAlex and CrossRef. The bibliometric data for
devising the citation-based metrics were gathered on 06-12-2021.
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
only includes papers and citation
metrics for an examined discipline.

The focus of our Genetics and Molecular Biology research
Our best universities ranking is a reliable list of
leading scholars from the discipline of Genetics and Molecular Biology ,
created using a detailed examination
of 166,880 researchers determined from
various bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Genetics and Molecular Biology, over 10151 researchers were
analysed.
What is D-index acceptance threshold for Genetics and Molecular Biology
The D-index threshold for accepting a scientist to be
considered is set to 40 if
most of their publications are in the discipline of Genetics and Molecular Biology. The
approval requirements for scientists to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index,
proportion of the contributions made within the specific
discipline as well as the awards and achievements of the
scholars. The D-index threshold for including top
scholars is set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of
scholars estimated for each
area od study whilst making sure that the top 1% of
best researchers are incorporated into the list.
We estimate a proximity of 30% or less between a
researcher’s general H-index and their D-index.
Additional verification methods
Because our main mission is to guarantee that only
actual scientists are included in
our ranking we realize that numbers are never
meant to be an absolute means to assess the
output of researchers. Because of that
we manually verify each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of credible sources. While it’s not a
metric defining a researcher’s position in
the ranking, the quantity of papers published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should be a
valuable secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
given field of study. Position in the ranking is
based on every scientist’s D-index
using metrics collected from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-established bibliometric
databases of this kind available to the scientific community. A
detailed definition of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our mission
Our objective is to inspire scientists,
companies and administrative bodies
worldwide to explore where top experts are heading
and to offer a way for the entire scientific community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in different countries, or even within research
institutions are.
