Ghana features among scientists that influence by global standards

The ranking of lecturers and their respective Universities is out and the list brings inspiration to those the lecturers mentor.

The AD Scientific Index – 2021 for ranking was based on the H-index, i10-index ad citations from the work of the scientists in the last 5 years.

From google, the h index is a metric for evaluating the cumulative impact of an author’s scholarly output and performance; measures quantity with quality by comparing publications to citations. The h index corrects for the disproportionate weight of highly cited publications or publications that have not yet been cited.

Also, the i10–Index = the number of publications with at least 10 citations. This very simple measure is only used by Google Scholar and is another way to help gauge the productivity of a scholar.

According to the analysis by of the first 50 Ghanaians who were featured in the list by Graphic Online, the University of Ghana (UG) and the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) chalked the highest chunck.

Some of the names featured in the list are captured on the website of AD Scientific Index and names from Ghana include;

Prof. Seth Owusu-Agyei, Prof. Gordon Awandare, and many others.
