Data from SCOPUS, created by Elsevier and one of the world's most comprehensive academic databases, also ranks among the most important indicators forming the basis of the Times Higher Education (THE) world university rankings. In this context, the performance exhibited by MAKÜ in the last two years clearly demonstrates the university's focus on quality and sustainability in scientific production.
Notable Increase in Qualified Publications
The number of publications in the Q1 category, considered one of the most important indicators of scientific competence, showed a 98% increase compared to 2023. In the total number of publications in the Q1 and Q2 categories, an 80% growth was achieved. This increase reveals that MAKÜ is determinedly expanding not only the number of publications but also its pool of qualified publications.
The number of original articles and reviews in the Q1 category, which directly contribute to the academic literature, was increased by 94% in the last two years. In the overall total, a 50% increase was recorded in the number of publications contributed to the literature by the university. These data clearly reflect MAKÜ's capacity for original knowledge production and its steady development.
MAKÜ continues its path with determination, with an approach that strengthens its research infrastructure, prioritizes academic quality, and considers scientific production as a strategic priority. This holistic science ecosystem, extending from laboratories to libraries, from classrooms to research centers, increases the university's visibility in national and international arenas every day. We thank all our human resources, especially our academics who contributed to this performance.
