In this post, we look at the rankings of the world’s leading longevity experts. These rankings are based on research by Expertscape, a company that objectively ranks people and institutions by their expertise in more than 30,000 biomedical topics. According to their global longevity expert survey, Rochelle Buffenstein is ranked at 22.
On what basis is Rochelle Buffenstein ranked?
Expertscape believes that no one is an expert at anything unless they are actively investigating longevity science, are at the leading edge of knowledge, and are publishing their research in respected journals.
How are experts ranked?
Experts are ranked according to the quality and quantity of their publications. Expertscape examines all medical publications that are indexed in the National Library of Medicine’s MEDLINE database. They rank the expertise of each author according to the number and type of articles that each expert has authored on the specific condition, disease, or treatment of interest to you.
This ranking method identifies experts who have a variety of backgrounds. For example, experts that they identify may be ranked highly because they conduct and publish clinical research into your condition, write reviews that are based on analysis of other researchers’ work on your condition, or author articles on the scientific underpinnings of your condition.
