Top 10 universities in Moldova
Moldovan National H-index Ranking published the list of the most outstanding universities in Moldova according to the results of the second quarter of 2025, providing an up-to-date assessment of their scientific activity.
The ranking is based on the Hirsch Index, an internationally recognised scientometric indicator that measures both the productivity and impact of researchers and institutions.
To form this index, data are collected from authoritative scientific databases such as Scopus and Web of Science, as well as the Google Scholar platform, which ensures the reliability and objectivity of the analysis.
Due to the Hirsch Index indicators, we have compiled a ranking of universities in Moldova that have achieved significant success in scientific work, strengthening their positions both nationally and internationally.
