CMU demonstrated a significant improvement in this year's rankings, particularly in Research Quality, which constitutes 30% of the overall score. This metric is calculated based on Citation Impact, Field-Weighted Citation Impact (FWCI), the proportion of publications in the top 10% by FWCI, and Research Influence, measured by citations of CMU's research in high-impact publications.
This progress underscores CMU's dedication to internationally recognized, high-quality research. The university remains committed to fostering research that yields positive social and economic impacts, contributing to sustainability regionally and globally.
