A measure of how frequently a university's research publications are cited by other scholars, indicating the influence and quality of its research output.
Citation impact quantifies the influence of a university's research by tracking how often its publications are referenced in subsequent academic work. Higher citation counts generally indicate more impactful and influential research. Major ranking systems weight citations heavily — THE allocates 30% to research quality metrics including citations, while QS uses citations per faculty as 20% of its methodology. Field-normalized citation impact accounts for disciplinary differences in citation practices.
