UoH Ranks No.1 In Indian Universities For Research Output

Hyderabad, March 26 (Maxim News): The University of Hyderabad (UoH) has been ranked No.1, yet again, among the Indian Universities in India by the prestigious Nature Index for 2020-2021. This year UoH is ranked at 18 overall among all institutions.

“The Nature Index functions as an indicator of high quality research in the Natural and Physical Sciences (includes Chemistry, Life Sciences, Earth & Environmental Sciences) and it is indeed a proud moment for the UoH, an Institution of Eminence, to continue to be ranked at number 1 among the Universities in successive years. Although our competition is with established specialised research institutes and the IITs, as a multidisciplinary University we do remarkably well. We need to work hard to better our ranks”, said Prof. Appa Rao Podile, Vice-Chancellor, UoH. He added

“Receiving additional funding under the IoE mandates that we should have a presence in the top ranked institutions and therefore we have to benchmark our output with the top 100 performers globally, which is what we are setting out to do, in accordance with the Government of India’s clear directives”.

The research outputs for UoH published between December 1, 2019 – November 30, 2020, tracked by Nature Index, were considered for ranking. Chemistry and Physical Sciences were evaluated for output subject wise. UoH received a Count of 54 and a Share of 14.72.

A Count of one (1) is assigned to an Institution if one or more authors are from that Institution. Share is a fractional count that takes into account the percentage of authors from that Institution and the number of affiliated institutions per article. The maximum combined share for any article is one (1). (Maxim News)
