2. Top Ten Journals and Proceedings

3.Top 15 Institutes with which BUET researchers  collaborated 

a) National collaboration 

b) Internal collaboration 

Researchers from BUET have collaborated more with national institutes than foreign institutes.

4. Top 15 Countries  in collaboration

BUET researchers have publication relationships with researchers across the world- North America, Europe, Australia, and Asian countries.

5.Top 15 Funding Sponsors 

a) National funding

In the case of the University of Dhaka, only 11 publications out of  763 were funded by it.  BUET has 92 self-funded publication which is almost one-fifth of the total publication.  This is an exhaustive list of local funding bodies.

b) International funding 

Below are the top 15  foreign organizations from where the funding came for the research behind the publications.

6.Top Document type 

Not a single book was published by BUEt faculties this year.

7. Subject areas/ Research areas

Engineering university understandably has published more in the area of Engineering and then Computer science.

Concluding remarks: 

A good number of publications (92) were funded by BUET.   BUET also has good local collaboration. More local funding should come and the focus should be patenting of product, process, or developed methods.

Question:  What is the average number per faculty publication for BUET in Scopus?  Is it one in the case of BUET, 500 publications from 500 faculties?   From this point of view, BUET has a better publication rate than the University of Dhaka.
