Institute Research Indicators are key metrics used to evaluate and monitor the research performance and impact of academic or scientific institutions. These indicators provide quantitative and qualitative insights into an institution’s research activities, productivity, and influence within the scientific community and broader society.
WCE refers the ScholarGPS, AD scientific indexing and Vidwan.
Common research indicators include the number of publications, citation counts, h-index, research funding acquired, number of patents, collaborations, and participation in national or international projects. Such metrics help institutions assess the effectiveness of their research strategies, benchmark their performance against peers, and inform policy and funding decisions.
