World University / Institution Rankings 2023

As "AD Scientific Index", we developed a university ranking system based on the merit of the scientists in the institution with a different methodology. We examined the scientists in the institutions based on the h-index, i10index and citation counts given in their Google Scholar profiles. As a ranking principle, we used the number of scientists in the top 2%, 10%, 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% respectively. For example, an institution with 3 scientists in the top 2% ranks higher than an institution with 2 scientists in the same percentile. In the case of equal numbers of scientists in the same percentile, the institution with the higher ranked scientist in the world ranking is ranked higher.

"AD Scientific Index" is the only university ranking system that analyzes the distribution of scientists in an institution according to the 2, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90 percentiles. The "AD Scientific Index" University Ranking will not only show the areas in which a university is best or focused, but also reflect the results of the institutions' scientist recruitment policies. This feature reveals the ability of institutions to attract successful scientists and the ability of institutions to promote advances and retain scientists.
