Top 10 universities in Uzbekistan (2nd quarter of 2026)
In the second quarter of 2026, the international Uzbekistani National H-index Ranking presented an updated list of the most outstanding universities in Uzbekistan, providing an objective assessment of their scientific activity.
The key criterion for the assessment was the Hirsch Index, an internationally recognised indicator that assesses both the productivity and scientific impact of individual researchers and institutions. The data for calculating the index were collected from authoritative sources: Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar, which ensures the reliability of the results.
Based on these data, a ranking of universities that have achieved significant success in the scientific sphere and strengthen their positions at the national and international levels was formed.
