Tishk International University has been ranked 1st among the Kurdistan Region’s private universities, 28th among the Iraqi universities, and 752nd worldwide, as announced by the SCIMAGO for the year 2022.
According to the latest rankings published by the SCIMAGO, TIU’s best quartile was designated to be Q3. This year’s assessment included only 40 Iraqi universities.
Tishk International University’s vision is to be a leading university in the country and the wider region in education, research and development, as well as services provided to the community by raising lettered individuals with universal ethical values. As a result, TIU has reached a level of continuous achievement on the regional and international stage in various international agencies’ rankings.
The SCImago Institutions Rankings (SIR) classifies academic and research-related institutions ranked by a composite indicator that combines three different sets of indicators based on research performance, innovation outputs and societal impact measured by their web visibility.
Developing an assessment tool for bibliometric analysis aimed to characterize research institutions involves an enormous data processing task related to the identification and disambiguation of institutions through the institutional affiliation of documents included in Scopus.
Indicators are divided into three groups intended to reflect institutions’ scientific, economic, and social characteristics. The SIR includes both size-dependent and size-independent indicators; that is, indicators influenced and not influenced by the size of the institutions. In this manner, the SIR provides overall statistics of the scientific publication and other institutions’ output while enabling comparisons between institutions of different sizes. It needs to be kept in mind that once the final indicator has been calculated out of the combination of the different indicators (a different weight has been assigned), the resulting values have been normalized on a scale of 0 to 100.
TIU’s presidency admired this significant achievement and expressed its gratitude and appreciation to the academic staff, who played a significant role in this accomplishment.
