Department Ranking

The Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics (LSGI) at PolyU is the leading department worldwide in Geomatics and Geomatics-related disciplines, in terms of the number of scientific publications per academic staff, and the number of citations per staff received by those papers from other journal papers.

This is confirmed by a recent independent survey by Thomson Reuters, a US company that produces the Science Citation Index (SCI) database and other related products (see table).

The table encompasses all aspects of Geomatics, and shows that LSGI in first place, is followed by two top universities in the world that also have world renowned Geomatics programmes.
