 TOP 500 RESEARCHERS IN UNN: PROF. VICTOR UKAOGO IN THE MIX


By Iheke Nwachukwu


In what has become an annual ritual of academic achievement measured in terms of research accomplishments in the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, the list of 500 highly reputed researchers has been released.


Compiled by SciVal Elsivier-an internationally recognized publication database used for University rankings, SciVal contains database populated by publication data taken from the Elsevier scopus database. Elsevier analyzises research areas to find top performing universities and authors and is based in Boston University, United States.


For the University of Nigeria, the top 500 authors came from all the faculties and departments with the sciences topping the log. Dr Uche Okonkwo and Prof. Victor Ukaogo, both of the department of history and international Studies were tops in the Faculty of Arts. Whereas Dr Okonkwo was 58th on the University log and first in the Faculty Prof. Ukaogo was 229th on the log and second in the Faculty.


Curious to know why the sciences dominate the ranking, we discovered that joint authorship due to collaborative research initiatives explains the gap. The humanities merely struggle behind but recent publication trends reveal that the humanities as a whole are already embracing collaborative research option to widen the horizon of knowledge. The University Management,  friends and colleagues have been congratulating the successful authors encouraging them not to rest on their oars. The University Management also urged the academic community to be more dutiful to join the rank of visible authors.
