UM aims for more high-impact research


In the right direction: UM’s electrical and electronic research earned the highest scores among Malaysian universities for citations per paper and h-index in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2022.

IN academia, the impact of one’s research work can be assessed in a number of ways, one of which is the number of citations garnered.

The higher the citations for a research paper, the more impactful and credible one’s research is, said Universiti Malaya (UM) vice-chancellor Prof Datuk Dr Mohd Hamdi Abd Shukor.
