Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University (MAKÜ), according to the SCImago Institutions Rankings (SIR) results evaluated on an international scale, became the first in Turkey with its publication performance in the field of “Mechanical Engineering”.

 

The ranking is prepared based on the publications in the Scopus database to compare the scientific production power of universities on an international scale, and it also considers factors such as research performance, innovation, and social impact. In this context, indicators such as the number of publications, citation levels, international collaboration rates, commercialization potential, and social contribution of institutions are evaluated together.

 

MAKÜ’s highest performance in this field in Turkey is considered a clear indicator of both the quantity of scientific production and the power of qualified studies to create academic impact. The obtained result constitutes a natural reflection of the university's determined efforts to strengthen its research culture, the productivity of its academic staff, and strong collaborations.

 

MAKÜ, which has also achieved a significant position in the world ranking, has once again demonstrated that it is competitive not only at the national level but also internationally in the field of mechanical engineering. This success is seen as directly related to the university's investments in scientific infrastructure, its approach encouraging young researchers, effective laboratory environments, and its academic vision supporting interdisciplinary studies.

 

Mechanical engineering is in an important position for both academic and industrial development today as it covers many critical areas such as materials science, design, production technologies, and energy systems. The first place achieved in Turkey in this field proves that MAKÜ is among the leading institutions guiding scientific production across the country.

 

The university administration expressed their gratitude to all stakeholders, especially academics and researchers, stating that efforts to carry the success further will be continued with determination.
