UM strategy:Impetus needed for HIR Projects to provide the foundations to catapult UM to the Top 100 by 2015
The aim of this HIR projects’ to be introduced in UM iscommitted to meet the challenges of ranking and meet thenational agenda to put a Malaysian IPTA in the Top 100 in the next5 years andTop 50 by 2020.
This is a tough challenge but can be achieved. A recent study at UM illustrates the high
bar, that Malaysian IPTAs need to climb! UM publication trends (done in June
2010)show that NUS has 1.2 papers per staff but UM productivity is about 0.53. There UM needs to double output of ISI.
UM citations in 2009 is 2.65 citations per staff. In NUS, it is 21 citations per staff!
