Where Unilorin is invisible

Share of each faculty’s academic staff, as listed in the University Calendar, with at least one publication in the international research index. Low coverage does not mean low activity. It means the work is not reaching the databases that funders, collaborators and ranking bodies search.

This is the most actionable thing on the site.

The University Calendar lists 1,426 academic staff. 1,233 of them, about 86%, have at least one publication in the index under a University of Ilorin affiliation, but only 1,069 (75%) have three or more. The gap is largest in Arts, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Law and Social Sciences. A common cause, especially in the humanities and law, is work published in Nigerian journals that assign no DOI and are therefore invisible to every index and ranking body.

A second cause is name splitting. 1,066 researchers on this site were held in the index under two or more separate records, under different spellings, orders or initials of their name, each showing only part of their work; those records are combined here. An ORCID attached to every publication is what prevents that.

Three things narrow the gap, and each is something the university can act on. Staff can register an ORCID and attach their publications to it. Departments can favour journals that assign a DOI. And authors can write their affiliation consistently as University of Ilorin, since variant spellings match nothing at all. Each is measurable, and this page can track whether it improves.
