To identify and recognise the most distinguished interdisciplinary research published by RAKMHSU faculty in 2025, the Office of the Vice President for Research and Postgraduate Studies has developed a structured 7-criterion evaluation methodology. Each published paper is assessed on a 100-point scale across dimensions of disciplinary diversity, ISR alignment, citation impact, research momentum, international collaboration, and global readership, ensuring a fair, transparent, and internationally benchmarked selection process.
| # | Criterion | Points | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Disciplinary Diversity | 18 | Number of distinct scientific fields covered by the paper. More disciplines = deeper interdisciplinary integration. |
| M2 | ISR Core Discipline Presence | 16 | Presence of at least one of the four ISR-mandatory sciences: Engineering, Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, or Computer Science. |
| M3 | Field-Weighted Citation Impact (FWCI) | 16 | How many times the paper was cited compared to the global average for its field. FWCI = 1.0 equals the world average. |
| M4 | Topic Prominence Percentile | 16 | How fast the research topic is growing globally right now. Higher = the topic is accelerating in scientific momentum. |
| M5 | International Collaboration | 11 | Number of countries and institutions involved. Reflects the breadth of the research network. |
| M6 | Field-Weighted Top Citation Percentile | 14 | Whether the paper ranks among the global top 1%, 5%, or 10% for citations within its field. |
| M7 | Field-Weighted View Impact (FWVI) | 9 | Global readership interest relative to field average. Essential for 2025 papers where citations have not yet accumulated. |
| Total Score | 100 | M1 + M2 + M3 + M4 + M5 + M6 + M7 | |
