Ranking evaluates research through bibliometric indicators

The CWTS Leiden Ranking is an international university ranking system that focuses specifically on scientific research performance using bibliometric data.

Its indicators examine different dimensions of research performance, including scientific impact, research collaboration, open access publishing, and gender diversity.

Unlike rankings that combine multiple aspects of university performance into a single overall score, the Leiden Ranking presents these dimensions through separate indicators, allowing the research performance of universities to be examined from different perspectives.

OMU aims to strengthen its international academic visibility

Alongside its education and teaching activities, OMU continues to expand its work in scientific research, international academic cooperation, and high-quality scholarly publishing.

The University aims to further develop its research capacity and strengthen its visibility within the international higher education and research landscape.

Through its research-oriented approach and continuing scientific output, OMU continues its efforts to advance its academic performance at both national and international levels.
