Bibliometric Study of Research Productivity at the University of Mosul

Research output is one of the most important aspects of the productivity of universities and scientific institutions. In practice, measuring this productivity no longer depends on quantity only, but type and quality have become a key factor. In this work, the research’s productivity and impact of the University of Mosul (UoM) was analyzed by implementing a complete bibliometric study. The OpenAlex database was used to create a dataset containing information on UoM research for the period 2018–2025. The results identified the most active researchers and the disciplines with the highest publication and international collaboration rates. The main contribution of this work is to provide a clear picture to decision-makers at the UoM about the activity of researchers, including names and specializations. Additionally, this study also aims to measure the accuracy and reliability of the use of OpenAlex data as an open-source bibliographic source
