Universities in Australia are ranked amongst the world’s top 50 most frequently cited research institutions over a period of five years from January 2003 to December 2007. This is according to data derived from the Essential Science Indicators (ESI) database of the Scientific business of Thomson Reuters. The ranking derived from ESI shows a marked improvement over the data for the earlier time period of 1998-2002 when only two Australian universities were ranked in the world’s top 50.
