BEST FEMALE SCIENTISTS IN THE WORLD 2023 RANKING

The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of top female scientists in the world is
based on data acquired from a wide range of bibliometric sources including
OpenAlex and CrossRef on 21-12-2022. Position in the ranking is based on a
scientist's overall H-index. Show more

This ranking of best female scientists in the world comprises of leading female
scientists from all key areas of science. It was based on a detailed analysis of
166,880 profiles.

The H-index threshold for accepting a scientist to be taken into consideration
for a world ranking was chosen independently for every scientific discipline,
but was in most cases equal to 30 or 40. The acceptance criteria for scientists
to be chosen into the world ranking of top female researchers are based on the
H-index, rate of the contributions made within an examined area of research plus
also on the awards and recognitions of the scholars. Only top 1000 scientists
with the highest H-index are displayed in the ranking.

As our central goal is to make sure that only confirmed researchers are included
in the ranking, we believe that numbers are never meant to be an absolute system
to quantify the work of scholars. Because of this, we manually check each
profile and cross-check it against publications in a wide spectrum of
trustworthy sources. Even though it’s not a value defining a researcher’s
position in the ranking, the quantity of papers published in leading journals
and conference proceedings should constitute a reliable secondary indication of
their contribution to research in a specific discipline. Position in our ranking
is based on each researcher’s H-index applying data gathered from a wide range
of bibliometric sources, which is one the most prominent and renowned
bibliometric databases of this type available to the scientific community. An
indepth definition of our research process can be examined on our methodology
page .

We are painfully aware that scientific research is continously a largely male
line of work, and we believe that female scientists deserve an equal chance to
be represented and praised for their accomplishments. Our hope is to inspire
female researchers, women pondering an academic profession, as well as
decision-makers around the world with the example of successful women in the
research community. We hope that it will help with providing more opportunities
and equal chances for women in science.
