EduRank itself is a global university ranking institution that evaluates higher education performance based on research strength, scientific impact, and digital visibility. Unlike reputation-based rankings, EduRank uses a data-driven approach, focusing on scientific publications, citation counts, and measurable academic contributions. These requirements make EduRank an important reference for assessing the real performance of institutions in knowledge production and influence.
In its methodology, EduRank processes data from various open sources, including global scientific publications, citation indexes, and institutional digital footprints. The evaluation is conducted not only at the university level but also across specific fields and subfields of study. UNDIP’s success highlights the significant contributions of its academic programs in producing high-quality research that benefits not only local needs but also the global community.
