Citation impact (OpenAlex)
- Most cited universitiesUniversities ranked by total citations of their articles matched in OpenAlex. Coverage shows how many YÖKSİS articles were matched.
- Most citations per academicTotal citations divided by the number of active academics — efficiency independent of size. Universities with at least 100 academics.
- Highest FWCIFWCI compares an article's citations with the world average for its year, type and field; 1.00 is the world average. Universities with at least 1,000 matched articles.
- Top-1% article shareWhat share of their articles sits in the world's most-cited 1% for the same year and field? The expected share is 1%. At least 1,000 matched articles.
- Most cited facultiesFaculties in Turkey ranked by total OpenAlex citations (top 100).
- Most cited academicsAcademics ranked by total citations of their articles matched in OpenAlex (top 100). The 'most cited paper' column shows whether the total comes from a single large multi-author paper.
- Highest h-index academicsThe h-index is computed from the citations of the academic's YÖKSİS articles matched in OpenAlex: h articles with at least h citations (top 100). It does not rely on the OpenAlex author profile, so merged-profile errors do not apply.
Each ranking explains its own metric, and where that metric comes from, at the bottom of its page. Academician, faculty and department counts come from YÖKSİS only. Article counts are shown separately as YÖKSİS and OpenAlex. Q1 counts are computed separately for WoS (JCR) and Scopus (SJR) and are never combined.
