Hanken_Newsletter_2_2016

Hanken is ranked 5th in the global U-Multirank as regards research and research linkages. Hanken thus outperforms over 1 300 other universities from both the US and Europe. - This is a result of our efforts to encourage our researchers to publish in top journals and to cooperate internationally, says Hanken’s Rector Karen Spens. Hanken ranks particularly well on citation rate and top cited publications, as well as on international joint publications. - There are only two European universities among the top 10 measured according to top cited publications indicator. One of these is Hanken, which again proves the high quality of the research here, states Timo Korkeamäki, Dean of Research. The ranking compares selected U-Multirank institutions in terms of seven different bibliometric performance indicators in the areas of research and research linkages. All indicator scores derived from bibliometric analysis are based on information extracted from publications that are indexed in the CWTS-licensed edition of the Web of Science (WoS) database. U-Multirank is developed and implemented by an independent consortium of European higher education institutions and supported by the European Commission
