A new international report on the impact of scientific research has ranked The George Institute for Global Health as the research institute whose publications have had the greatest worldwide impact.
The 2011 report from the independent European agency, Scimago, ranked more than 3,000 research institutions on the basis of scientific publications from 2005-2009. Principal Directors, Professor Stephen MacMahon and Professor Robyn Norton said the result reflected the Institute’s long-established commitment to conducting research designed specifically to address major global health challenges.
“It is extremely gratifying to receive independent confirmation that we are delivering on our promise to provide evidence that will have an impact on the health of millions of people worldwide,” Professor MacMahon said.
“We have deliberately targeted health issues facing the world’s largest populations, as well as those affecting Australians. Our approach has been to develop and evaluate pragmatic solutions for common serious conditions ranging from injuries in children to strokes in older people,” Professor Norton said.
