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.
