The latest ESI data shows that a total of 9,019 research institutions worldwide are ranked in the top 1%. SCMU has published 4,651 papers, with a total citation count of 82,913, ranking 2,282nd globally. We have 64 highly cited papers and 3 hot papers. Currently, our university has four disciplines – Chemistry, Engineering, Materials Science, and Environmental Science and Ecology – ranked in the global top 1%, with their respective global rankings at 710/1905 (approx. 37.27%), 1289/2429 (approx. 53.07%), 939/1391 (approx. 67.51%), and 1842/1872 (approx. 98.40%). (Note: The percentage ranking is calculated as institution rank/total number of institutions. The smaller this value, the higher the institution’s ranking.)
It is worth noting that the Essential Science Indicators (ESI) database is a fundamental analytical and evaluation tool for measuring scientific research performance and tracking scientific development trends on an international scale. It is also widely recognized as a crucial indicator for evaluating the international academic level and influence of universities, academic institutions, and countries/regions. Whether a discipline enters the global top 1% of ESI is an important indicator of its world-class status and a key criterion for assessing a university’s core research competitiveness. SCMU attaches great importance to the development of world-class disciplines. Through strengthened management, organization, strategic planning, and continuous cultivation of new productive forces by deepening the intrinsic discipline-building efforts, SCMU has achieved a new breakthrough in ESI discipline construction.
