Trent places first for intensity and impact of research publications among primarily undergraduate universities ranked by Re$earch Infosource
Tuesday, October 21, 2014
Reflecting impressive research and faculty performance across all disciplines, Trent University has been ranked fourth among primarily undergraduate universities in Canada’s Research Universities of the Year for 2014, a national innovation survey released by Re$earch Infosource on Thursday, October 16, 2014 at researchinfosource.com.
Trent ranked number one in its category for “publication intensity” and “publication impact,” and came in second for “number of publications” by primarily undergraduate institutions. Trent also tied for first place with York University for the “highest research impact” by universities without Schools of Medicine or Engineering.
In all rankings, including total sponsored research income and research intensity, Trent was recognized for substantial growth with each area rated higher than its performance in the statistics released in 2013.
“Trent University is extremely pleased with this year’s Re$earch Infosource rankings, where we continue to rank as one of Canada’s most research-intensive universities,” said Dr. Neil Emery, vice president research and international, Trent University. “Of special note is our high ranking for research impact, which shows that our faculty’s research discoveries and results are being heavily referenced by a host of scholars in leading peer-reviewed publications.”
The outstanding research undertaken by faculty at Trent has long been recognized by Re$earch Infosource, among other premier sources, ranking among the top ten research universities of the year for more than 10 years running in the primarily undergraduate category.
Professor Emery emphasizes that Trent’s research excellence and high performance extends across the University’s interdisciplinary programs. “We enjoy a great international reputation for our research in the environment, but our high research citation rate is evident in all our disciplines across the natural sciences, social sciences and the humanities,” he said.
