Calculation of Cumulative Research Impact Score (CRIS)

Scores of all eligible publications will be added to find the cumulative Research Impact Score

CRIS = (RIS Publication 1) + (RIS Publication 2) + (RIS Publication ….n)

 

Research Productivity (Faculty)

Eligible Publications: All publications listed on any established database such as Web of Science, Scopus, HJRS etc.

 

Calculation of Research Productivity Score (RPS)

a. 1st Author / Corresponding author: Number of Publications x 1

b. Any other number on author list: Number of Publications x 0.5

 

Cumulative Research Productivity Score (CRPS) = a + b

 

Research Productivity (Students)

Eligible Publications: All publications listed on any established database such as Web of Science, Scopus, HJRS etc.

 

Calculation of Research Productivity Score (RPS)

1st Author: Number of Publications x 1

Any other number on author list: Number of Publications x 0.5

 

Cumulative Research Productivity Score (CRPS) = a + b
