MU-Varna is in the top three ranking among the educational institutions in Bulgaria according to Bulgarian National H-index Ranking 2025. This is an excellent assessment for the development and quality of science at MU-Varna.
The ranking, which takes into account the scientific outcomes of more than 130 organisations in Bulgaria, has certified scientific institutions in three categories - scientific potential leaders, high scientific potential and members of the ranking. MU-Varna has been certified in the highest category – scientific potential leaders, where a total of 14 Bulgarian scientific institutions have been ranked, with only eight universities included among them, most of which boasting a much greater number of scientists.
This is the only rating in the world that assesses productivity of scientific achievements based on the consolidated H-index indicators addressing information from open sources and scientometric databases (Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar). National H-index Ranking is an international, non-commercial rating created for the unified and transparent rating of universities, scientific organisations, and scientific research institutions. The key metric is the Hirsch index, which is a well-known, popular, and stable metric in the field of scientific research. A group of scientists from the United States, the United Kingdom, Ukraine, the Netherlands and Turkey works on the project.
Organisations are ranked in the Bulgarian National H-index Ranking by assessing the productivity of scientific achievements, which makes the ranking metrics extremely objective. The ranking list is aimed at national science, as it evaluates the performance of research organisations within the country. This position of the ranking developers is aimed at solving the problem of "diminishing" the state aspect in the context of the globalisation of society in the field of scientific research. This approach is intended to consolidate domestic research and publication policies, and productivity in countries for a more harmonious and competitive performance in the international arena.
Bulgarian National H-index Ranking is an independent international ranking aimed at assessing the scientific productivity of scientists, research groups, and organisations in Bulgaria based on the consolidated Hirsch index.
