[SEU News Network, March 25^th] (Correspondents: Jiang Yelin, Huang Sihui) On March 15^th, according to the latest discipline statistics released by Clarivate Analytics, our university’s Computer Science discipline ranked 7^th in the world and the 2^nd among universities within the country), placing it in the elite top 0.01% of ESI world rankings. This achievement underscores the discipline’s leading status internationally. Since the Engineering discipline was listed top 0.01% of the ESI world rankings in September 2020, this achievement represents another breakthrough in advancing the development of a world-class university with Chinese characteristics and superior disciplines.

So far, our university has had 2 disciplines listed top 0.01% of the ESI world rankings, 4 disciplines listed top 0.1%, and 14 disciplines listed top 1%.

The Computer Science field, newly listed top 0.01% of the ESI world rankings, involves the first-level disciplines set up in several colleges and related institutes including the School of Information Science and Engineering, the School of Mathematics, the School of Automation, the School of Computer Science and Engineering, and the School of Economics and Management etc.

The Essential Science Indicators (ESI) are recognized globally as a pivotal tool for evaluating the international academic stature and influence of universities, academic institutions, as well as countries and regions. Based on a variety of metrics including the number of publications, citation frequency, average citations per paper, highly cited papers, and papers identified as particularly influential in their fields, ESI comprehensively measures the academic research capabilities of countries and regions concerned, the academic reputation of institutions, the scholarly impact of scientists, and the academic quality of journals, all through the lens of scholarly publications.

Generally speaking, disciplines listed top 1% of the ESI world rankings are considered outstanding disciplines, those in the top 0.1% are deemed excellent, and those in the top 0.01% are regarded as top-notch disciplines.
