The number of research paper output is not equal to innovation, change or new knowledge. I've published papers too. I can submit the same paper or its iteration to different journals or submit stage by stage progress of the same research to journals

Stop hyping covenant

They can't compare with any of the older universities like Ibadan, UNN, ABU, Lagos or Ife

You can publish junks in papers with zero impact factor. What you should care about is h-index. Clearly, Nigerians on that list have better h-index number.

Of course

This Op and anything Oyedepo sha.

You lie.an average Blackman dislikes anything research, publication or writing so it is in order.

Thank God, the researcher is neither Igbo nor Yoruba...if not, some stupid tribal bigot would have flooded this thread and be here saying "Igbo or Yoruba Amaka....as if the world recognizes Nigerian 's products...
Hardly can you see world-class Naija products...
It is always a case of the one-man eye king in the midst of blind men.


TUeh!

Yet our people think Nigerians would find the cure to Coronavirus .

not surprised in a country where computer scientist can't code unless he partake in extra lesson by same lecturer, when mechanical engineers can't even dismantle an engine and couple it back, where civil engineers do the job of an Architect, where president have NEPA bill as waec certificate, where a corrupt governor like ganduje is still gallivanting under the influence of immunity , where military journalist thinks everything on wheel is a tank, where secret police called DSS refutes judicial order

Others in public university are fighting for salary increase.

I sight my lecturer and mentor...
Prof Ganiyu Oboh...
Respect Sir.

Gureje Oye
Owolabi Ojo......
These guys have published in Elsevier's Lancet
Impact factor 59.102..I hope there is someone here that knows
the magnititude of that....Those ones are Grand-Researchers...

Good but research output is nothing compared to citations. Citations is the main thing and it is still poor.

Speak for yourself and your lineage bro.

Have you observed that the North rarely make list such as this

No insult intended just an observation

Yet they hold the highest positions in Nigeria

No wonder Nigeria is not moving forward

We have sacrificed professionalism on the altar of nepotism!

It's a shame!!!

you are too myopic in reasoning. What has North or South have to do with the post?

Must you write jargons?

lemme borrow d slangs of that Slawomir guy...

Daaaaammm nigger!
I dunno all this covenant scholar lecturers here, buh dammn nigger, I rugged scholar and coconut-headed profs back then in our physics dept, UNIBEN

Dr. Osuji
Dr. Ben
Prof Illenikhena
Dr. Oni-Ojo
et all


dammn nigger!

lol

Our indigenous scholars need to up their game.

they are busy spending research funds on cars ,houses and girls

You won't see hausa fulani on such illustrious list. Parasites

Stop talking nonsense. There are Nigerians on that list that have better research outputs than the person the OP placed as Number 1 and they are black men. To the OP, research outputs and productivity are measured more by citations and h-index and not the number of papers published as you've done here. Stop being mischievous. There are people on that list with h-index 35, 36 and even as high as 72. You can't compare them with this man you placed as Number 1 with an h-index of just 17. There are many Nigerians home and abroad that have way more than that.

Alright

As much as I concede that there are fine scholars in CU, isn't it sweeping to use SciVal as overall metrics in determining performance of research bearing in mind that it is based on publications on Scopus alone?

If you see serious research countries, they don't even take Scopus serious unlike Web of Science. This title is kind of misleading and inaccurate in my honest opinion.

Ah. Thank you. I know none of them on that list can stand Prof. Umoren who, the last time I heard of him, was on sabbatical in King Fahd University. As a matter of fact, he had all his education in Nigeria.

I looked at that table and laughed hard at the OP, I saw scholars with an H-index of 72, 36, 35, and 32, and yet the OP is yapping about someone with an H-index of 17.

Professor Ganiyu Oboh has over 300 publications in reputable journals and man is not even done yet.

This thread is simply a Covenant University hype thread.

Lol
I'm here to Burst y'all inflated balls today. Covenant university seems to be good and all that but the volume of research seems to hamper on the quality of the research. How can one person produce 200+ scholarly work in 5yrs? Are they only into research or they teach/lecture as well?

Average citations per research work

Dr Sunday ojo had 225 publications with 619 citations in 5yrs that's an average of 619/225=2.7 Only per research work in an average of 5yrs

Dr Moses Emetere 384/211= 1.8 citations per paper[b]only[/b] in an average of 5yrs

Dr Hilary okagbue 846/142=5.9 citations per research work and this is by far your best research, take it or leave it.

Professor Roland Loto(I hear he isn't up to 40, big ups to him) 446/133=3.3 citations per paper in an average of five years

The above means hardly anybody takes covenant uni research seriously, I bet the citations include their own previously done work(s). I think this has to do with volume rather than quality of the work. If we go further to divide the computations above by 5 or 3 to get the average number of citations per year the result would be more miserable but it won't be fair since the work wasn't really stretched evenly over the time under review. And if for some reason this is the average citations for other Nigerian lecturers than we are really doomed(our educational sector I mean) and don't think that because I didn't analyze the Indian dude doesn't make him any less worse. Covenant university should focus more on quality of research. If you tell me that covenant has the most citations for any Nigerian university then I'll know something is wrong with your head because each lecturer producing an average of 100 work with an average of 1.5 citations while a UI lecturer might produce an average of 15 with an average of 6 citations (for example) should tell why you might have more citations. How much does covenant spend per research because I don't see why and how a mechanical engineering lecturer is having over 100 publications in 5 yrs with less than at the very least #50million at his disposal for the total research work except he is telling us what we already know.

But what do I know.....

Then the South should up their game.

The North is redundant because they have power at their beck and call.

When power is flowing over you, you'd worry less where education etc are concerned since you already call the shots.

ProfAmaben:
To me, Owolabi with 10k plus citations should be the numerono Uno. In research quality hierarchy, citations matter most, although that's not the bone of contention in this context.

Nice one scholars, sitting down to churn out quality research is not beans.

This. This article is click bait. Anyone knows that in research quality, H-index and citations take precedence. This article was trying to elicit a specific reaction from those who are not familiar with academic research on this site and I’m sure they’ll get it.

The moderators need to do a better job.

Indeed he is.

..

Scholars that have taken the back seat and refusd to take the RISK of building the Nigeria state.. What we need to be discusing is trying to not loose the intellectual argument about rebuilding the country.. This scholars need to be at the fore front leading.
