The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the discipline
of Genetics relies os data consolidated from
various 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
researcher’s affiliated with a given institution. D-index
includes exclusively publications and citation
metrics for an examined discipline.

The range of our Genetics research
Research.com’s best universities ranking is a trustworthy lineup of
leading scientists from the discipline of Genetics ,
established by means of a meticulous study
of 166,880 researchers discovered from
various bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Genetics, over 5724 scholars were
analysed.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Genetics
The D-index threshold for including a scientist to be
examined is set to 40 if
the majority of of their publications are in the discipline of Genetics. The
approval factors for scientists to be
considered into the ranking of top scientists are based on the D-index,
proportion of the contributions made within the selected
field of study in addition to the awards and achievements of the
scholars. The D-index threshold for including leading
researchers is set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of
scholars projected for each
discipline whilst guaranteeing that the top 1% of
leading scholars are added into the list.
We expect a proximity of 30% or less between a
researcher’s general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification rules
As our leading mission is to make sure that only
actual scientists are included in
our ranking we believe that metrics are never
supposed to be an absolute measure to assess the
output of researchers. This is why
we manually inspect each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of credible sources. Although it’s not a
factor contributing to a scholar’s position in
Research.com ranking, the amount of documents published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should constitute a
reliable secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
given area of science. Position in the ranking is
based on every researcher’s D-index
using information collected from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-established bibliometric
databases of this kind open to the scientific community. A
detailed overview of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our mission is to motivate scholars,
entrepreneurs and administrative bodies
around the world to examine where top experts are heading
and to provide an opportunity for the whole research community to
find out who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
