How many of these publications are coming from strategic planning of research aligned to national priority and how many are coming from faculties doing PhD and Postdoc abroad?
University should have its own listing of publications and its own analysis of the publications.
Does it have any such system? Does the authority ever count the total publications in local journals, Scopus indexed journals, the web of science indexed journals? Ever review its total publication?
Question: The average number of per faculty publication for BAU in Scopus is 0.66. It is better than DU. Still, Why not the average publication per faculty is 1.o?
