SIR World is presented as a leaderboard aimed at providing information on research performance, innovation, and social impact of institutions, characterizing them in terms of their scientific, economic, and social contributions.
According to its policies, the main objective pursued by SIR is to contribute to decision-making, the development of public and institutional policies, and the establishment of roadmaps for promoting research and continuous improvement of institutions.
SIR includes institutions from all countries and sectors that have published at least 100 documents in Scopus-indexed journals in the last year of the study period. In 2024, the measurement process was conducted based on 20 indicators grouped into three main factors: Research, Innovation, and Social Impact.
