Scientists from the Institute of Parasitology Ranked Among the Leading Animal Science and Veterinary Scientists in Czechia
The international platform Research.com has published its Best Animal Science and Veterinary Scientists 2026 ranking, which evaluates researchers based on their publication record and citation impact in the field of Animal Science and Veterinary Sciences.
Only 20 scientists from the Czech Republic were included in this year's ranking, and nine of them are affiliated with the Institute of Parasitology of the Biology Centre CAS or maintain long-term collaborations with the institute. As a result, nearly half of all Czech researchers represented in this prestigious ranking are associated with our institute.
The ranked scientists include:
- Jan Votýpka (2nd in the Czech Republic)
- David Modrý (3rd in the Czech Republic)
- Tomáš Scholz (4th in the Czech Republic)
- Martin Kváč (5th in the Czech Republic)
- Bohumil Sak (6th in the Czech Republic)
- Milan Jirků (10th in the Czech Republic)
- Dana Květoňová (11th in the Czech Republic)
- Klára J. Petrželková (13th in the Czech Republic)
- Roman Kuchta (16th in the Czech Republic)
The ranking was based on the analysis of 279,971 scientist profiles worldwide. Researchers are ranked according to the D-index, a discipline-specific metric that measures publication output and citation impact exclusively within the field of Animal Science and Veterinary Sciences. Only scientists meeting stringent criteria for scientific impact and disciplinary focus are eligible for inclusion.
The results are based on bibliometric data obtained from the OpenAlex and CrossRef databases and subsequently verified by the Research.com team. The 2026 ranking was compiled using data collected on 12 January 2026.
