Results of the 2026 SCImago Global Ranking System and a Comparison with 2025
The "SCImago Ranking 2026"—a globally recognized authority for evaluating the performance of universities and educational institutions—assesses institutional performance based on a composite model comprising three primary dimensions:
- Research Performance (weighted at 50%)
- Innovation Outputs (weighted at 30%)
- Societal Impact, or Web Visibility (weighted at 20%)
In this system, research data is analyzed over a five-year period (concluding two years prior to the ranking year). To qualify for inclusion, an institution must have at least 100 works indexed in the Scopus database during the final year of this period, with the requirement that at least 75% of these works qualify as citable documents.

- Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences ranks 1891st globally, taking the second position.
- Tabriz University of Medical Sciences ranks 2518th globally, placing third.
Furthermore, the report indicates that Golestan University of Medical Sciences ranks 8184th, placing 26th.
