Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) & Strategic Roadmap
Al-Ahliyya Amman University
Institutional Performance Measurement Approach
These indicators are designed to track progress across five dimensions: research output and quality, visibility and reach, topic prominence, collaboration, and societal impact. Progress is reviewed periodically by the Deanship of Scientific Research using Scopus and SciVal data, with findings reported to AAU's University Council and the Interdisciplinary Research Committee.
These indicators are intended to measure AAU’s interdisciplinary research performance specifically, rather than overall university research performance in general.
📌
Monitoring and Review Mechanism
The monitoring of these KPIs should be coordinated by the Deanship of Scientific Research in cooperation with relevant academic units, research centres, and administrative support offices. Progress should be reviewed periodically using recognised data sources and institutional records, with findings used to support reporting, identify performance gaps, and guide corrective and developmental actions where needed.
Implementation and Phasing Approach
This roadmap is intended to function as a phased institutional guide for the progressive development of interdisciplinary research at AAU. Its implementation depends on coordinated action across the Deanship of Scientific Research, academic faculties, research centres, and relevant administrative support units, with each phase building on the achievements and lessons of the preceding stage.
📌
Monitoring and Periodic Review
The implementation of this roadmap should be reviewed periodically to assess progress, identify challenges, and update priorities where necessary. This review process is expected to support institutional learning, improve implementation efficiency, and ensure continued alignment between AAU’s interdisciplinary research ambitions, available capacities, and measurable performance outcomes.
