Khalifa University of Science and Technology (KU) is one of the prominent Universities in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), of the Government of Abu Dhabi. The new Khalifa University was re-constituted in the year 2017 by merging three higher education institutions in Abu Dhabi, the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology, Khalifa University of Science, Technology and Research and the Petroleum Institute. The objectives of these institutions and their research areas were entirely disparate in the pre-merger era and hence the evaluation of the research performance of its pre-merged entities in the past is vital for Khalifa University to plan for the future course of actions. The paper aims to discuss these issues.,This study analyzes and visualizes scholarly publications of Khalifa University of Science and Technology (KU) using SCOPUS data. There are various qualitative and quantitative methods to measure research performance. This study adopted citation analysis, one of the widely recognized quantitative metrics to measure the citation impact of scholarly publications.,Khalifa University leads in productivity compared to other UAE universities but the citation impact of its publications is less in comparison to United Arab Emirates University and New York University, Abu Dhabi in terms of citations per publication. The majority of KU publications are not highly cited. The majority of the KU publications (80 percent) received fewer citations and few papers (20 percent of the KU publications) attracted 80 percent of the total citations received for KU publications. Analysis results indicate that publishing in top-ranked journals would improve the chance of getting more citations. On average, eight percentage difference is seen in the h-index of KU authors when removing self-citations.,The study considered only publications that are indexed in SCOPUS. It covered a limited set of sources as per the SCOPUS editorial policy. Most of the covered sources are journals and conference proceedings. Books’ data coverage in Citation Index is comparatively low, which may affect results regarding social sciences and humanities publications because book publication is more prominent in these subject areas. Khalifa University is a science and technology university, and the majority of its academic departments fall in science and technology domains. Even though there are few arts and humanities departments in the University, it will not affect the overall findings of the results of the analysis.,This study is original research conducted to study the impact of research publications of Khalifa University using Scopus data.

哈里发科技大学的研究成果，阿布扎比

哈里发科技大学（KU）是阿布扎比政府在阿拉伯联合酋长国（UAE）着名的大学之一。新的哈里发大学于2017年进行了重组，合并了阿布扎比的三所高等教育机构，马斯达尔科学技术学院，哈里发科学技术与研究大学和石油学院。这些机构及其研究领域的目标在合并前时代是完全不同的，因此，对其合并前实体过去的研究绩效进行评估对于哈利法大学规划未来的行动至关重要。本文旨在讨论这些问题。本研究使用SCOPUS数据分析并可视化哈里发科技大学（KU）的学术出版物。有多种定性和定量方法来衡量研究绩效。这项研究采用了引文分析，这是衡量学术出版物的引文影响的一种公认的定量指标。与其他阿联酋大学相比，哈利法大学在生产率上领先，但与阿联酋大学和阿联酋大学相比，其出版物的引文影响要小纽约大学阿布扎比分校的引用量。大部分KU出版物都没有被高度引用。大多数KU出版物（占80％）收到的引用较少，而很少论文（占KU出版物的20％）吸引了KU出版物收到的总引用的80％。分析结果表明，在顶级期刊上发表文章会增加获得更多引用的机会。去除自我引文后，KU作者的h指数平均有8％的差异。该研究仅考虑在SCOPUS中被索引的出版物。根据SCOPUS编辑政策，它涵盖的资源有限。涵盖的资源大多数是期刊和会议论文集。图书在“引文索引”中的数据覆盖率相对较低，这可能会影响有关社会科学和人文出版物的结果，因为图书出版在这些学科领域中更为突出。哈里发大学是一所科技大学，其大部分学术系属于科技领域。即使大学的人文学科很少，它也不会影响分析结果的整体结果。
