The results of the rating of scientific productivity of Russian universities by the analytical center “Expert” have been announced. In the category “Materials Science: Metallurgy” (Metals and Alloys), SPbPU soared to first place (plus six positions) and headed the list of universities, beating such competitors as St. Petersburg State University, MISiS, and Lomonosov Moscow State University.
In the comprehensive engineering rating, Polytechnic showed a sharp increase, taking 6th place (up 9 positions) and entering the first group of technical universities. Overall, the university showed high positive dynamics in almost 13 subject areas: materials science, metallurgy, renewable energy, engineering sciences, mathematics, energy, chemical technology, management, economics, computer science, ecology, social sciences, biochemistry.
In the field of materials science, engineering sciences, social sciences, economics and management, the Polytechnic University entered the top ten universities in the country. In engineering sciences – Arost by nine positions, in materials science (plus seven positions), in management (growth by four positions).
Such bright results confirm the importance of focus and the chosen model of technological leadership. As a leading engineering university in Russia, we are proud to train professionals for key industries of the country and contribute to world science, – emphasizes the rector of SPbPU Andrey Rudskoy.
This is a well-deserved success – the success of our scientists and scientific and technological teams of the Polytechnic University, who actively participate not only in grants, but also in federal programs of the NCMU, Priority and PIS and wisely focus resources. Such a breakthrough growth of the university was influenced by systematic and long-term work aimed at increasing the effectiveness and quality of research work, – noted Vice-Rector for Personnel Policy of SPbPU Maria Vrublevskaya.
The University has demonstrated steady growth in such indicators as scale, demand for scientific activity and excellence. These criteria show to what extent scientific achievements and ideas created at the University are used and applied in the technological structure and economy of the country, as well as the unique scientific competencies and results of the higher education institution, determining its leading position in various branches of science and technology.
The Expert Analytical Center has been conducting a study of the publication activity of Russian universities since 2016. The ranking evaluates universities based on indicators of scientific productivity in subject areas over the previous four years, relying on publications in the Scopus database.
The calculation methodology is based on four semantic blocks:
“Demand for scientific activity” (the level of citation of the university in the region); “Scale, sustainability of scientific activity” (the share of the university’s publications in the total volume of publications in the country and the Hirsch index of researchers); “Quality of growth” (concentration of articles in journals); “Excellence” (representation among the best publications in international databases).
The combination of these measures will allow optimizing the management of the process of forming the scientific policy of the university, achieving positive changes in the structure of scientific research and bringing the university to a new qualitative level. In total, experts analyzed 143 universities in subject rankings this year.
