The 2024 Ranking has been announced for the SCImago Institutions Rankings (SIR), which assesses academic and research-related institutions based on three different sets of indicators; i.e., research performance, innovation outputs and societal impact measured by their web visibility. Istanbul Medeniyet University (IMU) ranks 40th in this year’s list containing 140 institutions from Turkey by going up 4 places compared to last year. In the Ranking based on Scopus data, our University ranks 20th in Research among the universities in Turkey. In addition, our University has risen 1460 places compared to last year in Societal Impact. This significant increase in this area is mainly associated with the addition of three new indicators to the SIR 2024 Ranking Societal Factor indicators, namely “generation of new knowledge related to the Sustainable Development Goals defined by the United Nations”, “participation of women in research processes” and “the use of the results obtained in the creation or improvement of public policies” and the prominent initiatives of our University in these fields.
