The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the discipline of
Microbiology is based on 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
data for an examined discipline.

The scope of our Microbiology research
Our best universities ranking is a trustworthy lineup of
leading researchers from the area of Microbiology,
created using a meticulous analysis of
166,880 scholars discovered from a variety of
bibliometric data sources. For the area of Microbiology, more than
43737 scientists were analysed.
What is D-index approval threshold for Microbiology
The D-index threshold for including a researcher to be
evaluated is set to 40 if
the majority of of their publications are in the field of Microbiology. The
inclusion criteria for scientists to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index,
proportion of the publications made within the specific
field of study 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 assessed for each
discipline whilst making sure that the top 1% of
leading scientists are added into the ranking.
There should be a proximity of 30% or less between a scholar’s
general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification practices
Since our leading goal is to ensure that only
actual scholars are mentioned in
Research.com ranking we are aware that numbers are never
meant to be an absolute tool to assess the
contributions of researchers. For that reason
we manually verify every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of credible sources. Even though it’s not a
factor impacting a scientist’s position in
Research.com ranking, the quantity of documents published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should be a
reliable secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
selected discipline. Position in the ranking is
established using each scientist’s D-index
according to data gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-established bibliometric
databases of this type accessible to the research community. A
thorough explanation of our research policy
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our mission
Our mission is to inspire researchers,
entrepreneurs and administrative bodies
worldwide to explore where prominent experts are heading
and to provide an opportunity for the entire scientific community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
