KPI + business = amazing FWCI 1.47

According to SciVal, in 2019–2024, only 0.9% of publications by Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute were created in collaboration with businesses. However, these joint studies have an incredibly high scientometric impact indicator – FWCI 1.47, meaning they are cited almost one and a half times more often than the global average in their fields.

Why is it important to develop corporate cooperation?

• Research has practical applications and demand in the real economy
• Expanding network of contacts, access to new projects and funding
• Articles with corporate partners are often published in the most influential journals
• The influence of both the authors themselves and the university as a whole is growing.

What is FWCI?

Field-Weighted Citation Impact shows how often a publication is cited compared to the average in its field. FWCI > 1 is always a positive signal for grantors, partners, and rankings.

Satellite data, artificial intelligence, and antennas: in which topics does Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute have the greatest scientific influence?

Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute scientists are actively working on topics that determine the future of humanity. According to SciVal, the university’s publications include industry leaders with a high Field-Weighted Citation Impact (FWCI), i.e. those that are cited much more often than the global average.

The most influential topics of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute over the past 5 years:

• Waveguide, Transducer, Antenna – FWCI 2.85
• Neural Networks, Wireless Sensor Networks – FWCI 1.33
• Remote Sensing, Satellite Data, Ukraine – FWCI 1.19
• Computer Networks, Distributed Systems, Info Theory – FWCI 1.06

These studies not only meet the challenges of the times, but are also in demand in the global science, technology, and defense industries.

What does a high FWCI mean?
This is an indicator that takes into account the subject area, type of publication, and year of publication. A FWCI above 1.00 is already above the world average, and a score above 2 is a global success.

KPI in the international ranking SCImago Institutions Rankings

Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute in the international SCImago Institutions Rankings: we have something to be proud of – and room to grow!

According to the results of the updated SCImago Institutions Rankings (SIR), Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute demonstrates a stable presence among the leading scientific institutions: the overall percentile is 74% (which means that we are consistently among the quarter of the world’s best institutions in terms of aggregate indicators).

According to the SIR ranking methodology, not only the number of scientific publications is evaluated, but also the citation of research, the quality of cooperation with international partners, the number of patents, media presence, participation in achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals, etc. No rating can fully reflect the depth and complexity of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute’s educational and scientific achievements. However, such analytical systems show in which directions we can develop further.

What can we improve?

• Increase the number of publications in Q1 (SJR) journals
• Work more actively on patenting research results
• Expand open access to research results, communicate more actively with the public.

Remember that KPI Library is always there for you! We will help you navigate the requirements of journals, explain the principles of rating formation, show you how analytical systems work and how to use them.
