It also considers self-citations and retracted papers to provide a full picture of each scientist's work. Researchers are grouped into 22 major fields and 174 sub-fields, helping to show their specific areas of expertise and influence.
For a young university like Shoolini, founded in 2009, this recognition is a major milestone. It places Shoolini among the top global research institutions. The university plans to build on this success by supporting its researchers and creating an environment that encourages cutting-edge work.
