Data for the compilation of the indices was collected on November 27, 2024. The ranking position is based on the D-index (Discipline H-index), which includes only publications and citation metrics for the examined discipline. The compilation includes 26 fields of science, and our researchers were included in two: medicine as well as biology and biochemistry.
In the field of biology and biochemistry, these are:
- Prof. Magdalena Kucia, Head of the Laboratory of Regenerative Medicine, who ranked 1st among Poles, (D-Index: 80; Citations: 23,154; Publications: 298), while ranking 3394th on the world list.
- Prof. Rafał Płoski, Head of the Department of Medical Genetics, who ranked 13th among Poles, (D-Index: 56; Citations: 14,186; Publications: 485), while ranking 12096th on the world list.
- Prof. Jakub Gołąb, Head of the Department of Immunology, who ranked 18th among Poles (D-Index: 53; Citations: 42,733; Publications: 217), while ranking 13665th on the world list.
