NUS Pharmacy contributed to the Essential Science Indicators of the Thomson Reuters Field Rankings for the National University of SingaporeNUS is the oldest and largest university in Singapore. It is also a regional and world leader in higher education and research. The 2010-11 Times Higher Education World University Rankings put the institution at 34th in the world and 4th in Asia. Within Singapore itself, the NUS produced 52 per cent of the nation's research output of some 60,000 journal articles over the past decade. The research performance of the NUS, therefore, is highly correlated with national research performance. There are 17 fields in which the NUS ranked in the top 1 per cent of institutions worldwide by citations during the past decade. The fields in which the NUS fell short on this metric were geosciences, immunology, psychiatry and psychology, and space sciences. The 17 are ranked by relative citation impact, which here is represented as citations per paper for the NUS in a field compared with the world average in the same field. The nation as a whole has exhibited dramatic improvement in relative impact. While the average was 2 per cent below the world average during the past decade, in 2009 Singapore's relative impact was 18 per cent above the yardstick, whereas in 2000 it scored 25 per cent below the figure. The head of NUS Pharmacy department, Associate Professor Chan Sui Yung said: "While rankings are only indicators, we are greatly encouraged by this recognition as Pharmacy, which is a multi-disciplinary programme, has contributed substantially to 6 of the 17 fields in which NUS is top 1 percent of all institutions by citations over a full decade. We continue to devote ourselves to provide top quality teaching and learning for our students and undertaking rigorous research that benefits both the health services, pharmaceutical industry and academia in Singapore and globally." |
