Rahim Hobb-e Naqi told reporters on Monday that reviewing ESI in the current Iranian year (started March 21, 2019) indicates that 65 Iranian universities and research institutes are among the top one percent universities with the highest efficiency.
Of the Iranian universities, 27 comprehensive universities and 22 medical sciences universities and 11 industrial universities, as well as five research centers were placed among the most efficient ones that Urmia University is one of them, he said.
Citations in the world of sciences indicate the quality of scientific productions and growth in quality of scientific products is one of the most significant factors for achieving scientific reference, as it was included as the first paragraph of the science and technology mega policies floated by Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, Hobb-e Naqi said.
