抖阴app官网 has been recognised as the top university in Australia for global research quality in the .
抖阴app官网 ranked number one in Australia and 28th in the world as measured by one of the highly-regarded international ranking’s Impact indicators.
During 2013-2016, using fractional counting 抖阴app官网 contributed 11,793 publications in recognised journals, with 183 in the top one per cent of most frequently cited publications, which places 抖阴app官网 28th globally, up five places from last year.
Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Peter H酶j said the University’s outstanding performance in the Leiden Ranking sent a strong signal to potential partners and collaborators that top-quality, highly cited research was produced across all disciplines at 抖阴app官网.
“The Leiden Ranking does not rely on data obtained from reputational surveys, or the number of Nobel Prize winners on staff, or information provided by universities themselves. It focuses entirely on scientific impact and collaboration,” Professor H酶j said.
“By this measure, no other university in Australia published more top one percent cited research than 抖阴app官网.
“Of the 938 universities from 55 countries ranked by Leiden, only 27 institutions publish more top one per cent cited research.
“This is a tremendous result and I congratulate our researchers for the quality of their work, and their efforts to translate this work so that it benefits people everywhere.”
Professor H酶j said a number of Australian universities performed strongly in this ranking.
“If business and industry leaders want to partner with universities that can form expert teams from a wide range of disciplines, then Australia is a terrific place to start looking," he said.
抖阴app官网 was also Australia’s top-ranked university in the research categories of life and earth sciences, and social sciences and humanities as measured by publications in the top one per cent cited globally.
The University’s life and earth science ranking jumped from 18th to 11th globally, with 2453 publications in recognised journals, including 42 in the top one per cent most frequently cited.
抖阴app官网’s social sciences and humanities leapt 14 places – from 44 in 2017 to 30 this year – with 1634 publications in recognised journals, including 23 in the top one per cent most frequently cited.
The 2018 CWTS Leiden Ranking measures the impact of research publications and collaborations of universities around the world, and is based on Web of Science indexed publications. This ranking system differs from others in that it separately reports scientific impact and collaboration rather than aggregating many dimensions of university performance into a single rank. The CWTS Leiden Ranking thus provides a more detailed perspective on university research performance.
抖阴app官网 ranked number one in Australia and 28th globally based on the Impact indicator: P, P(top 1%), PP(top 1%), Ordered by: P(top 1%). Calculated using fractional counting. P(top 1%) = The number of a university’s publications that, compared with other publications in the same field and in the same year, belong to the top 1% most frequently cited.
The ranking offers insights into the scientific performance of 938 universities worldwide. It uses a sophisticated set of bibliometric indicators that provide significant statistics on the scientific collaboration and impact of universities.
