Universitas Padjadjaran’s research ecosystem is inherently interdisciplinary, supported by integrated research centers, collaborative networks, and institutional support systems that foster cross-disciplinary innovation. This interdisciplinary approach plays a critical role in strengthening the university’s research performance and its contribution to addressing complex global and societal challenges.
The success of interdisciplinary science research at Universitas Padjadjaran is evaluated through a comprehensive set of performance indicators, encompassing research output, impact and quality, funding and innovation, as well as collaboration and institutional support. These indicators are systematically monitored through institutional research evaluation systems to ensure continuous improvement and global competitiveness.
1.Interdisciplinary Research Output
Interdisciplinary research output is evaluated through the number and proportion of publications across disciplines. At Universitas Padjadjaran, research performance is systematically monitored using bibliometric data from SciVal over a five-year period, enabling continuous tracking of interdisciplinary publication trends and supporting improvements in research quality and international publication.
2. Research Impact and Quality
The impact and quality of interdisciplinary research are assessed through citation performance and field-weighted indicators. Universitas Padjadjaran utilizes bibliometric analysis from SciVal to evaluate citation impact, cross-disciplinary influence, and research quality across departments. This data-driven approach enables the university to identify high-impact research, strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration, and improve research visibility in global scientific publications.
3.Research Funding and Innovation
Interdisciplinary research success is also reflected through research funding and innovation outputs, including collaborative research grants, patent registrations, and the development of innovation products. At Universitas Padjadjaran, these outputs are systematically documented and managed through institutional mechanisms, as evidenced by product innovation catalogues, patent databases, and records of research collaboration with industry partners. These institutional records demonstrate the translation of interdisciplinary research into applicable technologies, commercial products, and solutions that contribute to societal and economic development.
