The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the discipline
of Microbiology relies os data derived from
a wide range of data sources including OpenAlex and CrossRef. The bibliometric data for
estimating the citation-based metrics were collected 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
only includes publications and citation
data for an examined discipline.

The scope of our Microbiology research
Research.com’s best universities ranking is a trustworthy account of
leading scientists from the area of Microbiology ,
created using a meticulous study
of 166,880 researchers determined from
various bibliometric data sources. For the area of
Microbiology, over 43737 researchers were
investigated.
What is D-index approval threshold for Microbiology
The D-index threshold for accepting a scholar to be
considered is set to 40 if
the majority of of their publications are in the field of Microbiology. The
approval requirements for scientists to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index,
proportion of the publications made within the selected
area 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 making sure that the top 1% of
best scholars are considered into the ranking.
There should be a proximity of 30% or less between a
scientist’s general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification practices
Because our main mission is to make sure that only
credible scientists are mentioned in
our ranking we believe that raw data are never
supposed to be a complete measure to assess the
work of researchers. For that reason
we manually check every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of reliable sources. Although it’s not a
element impacting a scientist’s position in
Research.com ranking, the number of documents published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should be a
reliable secondary indication of their contribution to research in a
specific area of science. Position in the ranking is
determined by each scientist’s D-index
with the help of data collected from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most prominent and well-known bibliometric
databases of this kind accessible to the research community. A
detailed definition of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our goal
Our aim is to motivate scientists,
businessmen and politicians
around the world to examine where leading experts are heading
and to give an opportunity for the whole scientific community to
get to know who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
