discovery, creativity and innovation, drawing out the best
in each student and contributing to the social, cultural
and economic life of Ireland in the wider world
Vision: In the process of achieving the objectives and
implementing the actions set out in this plan, UCD
will be:
• A leading international research-intensive university
where excellence in education goes hand in glove with
a commitment to research, scholarship, creativity and
innovation
• A university where innovation sits alongside education
and research as a third, equally significant pillar of
activity
• A university committed to increasing levels of
collaboration and partnership with Irish and
international peers, government and industry
• A university that shapes local and global agendas,
supporting where appropriate and challenging where
warranted
• A university which is distinctly Irish, diverse, socially
inclusive and recognised as world-class
• A university that continues to play a central role in the
shaping of modern Ireland, that engages the global
Irish community and that offers an educational
gateway to Europe for increasing numbers of
international students
• A university where the holistic development of the
individual is central to our academic, social, cultural
and professional lives
• A university where excellence is the benchmark for
everything that we do.
The following data gives a quick reading on the scientific performance in the last years. The research ranking refers to the volume, impact and quality of the institution's research output. The innovation ranking is calculated on the number of patent applications of the institution and the citations that its research output receives from patents. Finally, the societal ranking is based on the number of pages of the institution's website and the number of backlinks and mentions from social networks.
Compared to its context
The result of the evaluation of the institution can be compared to obtain a view of the country, the region to which it belongs and the institutions of the world, placing it in their respective positions.

Ranks by Subject area
We have divided the scientific output of the institution into 19 large areas of knowledge and the following table shows only the ranks in different territorial domains achieved by the institution in each of the areas.
For an institution to have a presence in an area, it is necessary that it exceed in the last year a minimum output threshold equivalent to twice the percentage that this area represents in the world.
If you need scientific indicators on these areas visit Scopus and/or SciVal
These are the journals used by the institution's researchers to publish their work in the last year. The size of each circle represents the value of the SJR of the publication, and its spatial position represents its subject matter.
This visualizatión allows you to identify the knowledge areas where the institution has published, recognize the prestige of the scientific journals in which the institution knowledge has been published, and identify predominant scientific communities.
