Montana State University earns recognition for its scientific collaboration and impact

For the second year in a row, Montana State University has received recognition in a respected ranking system for its scientific impact and collaboration.

The university earned a spot on the CWTS Leiden Ranking for 2015, which orders the 750 universities in the world with the largest contributions in international scientific journals. MSU is one of only 158 U.S. universities to be included on the list. It is the only university in Montana to be recognized.

The ranking is based on universities’ scientific contributions published in scholarly journals, as well as the impact that those scientific findings have on the international community. Impact is measured by the number of times the research is cited in subsequent articles published in scholarly journals.
