Deakin University and its researchers have been recognised as among the world’s finest research minds as reported by The Australian’s newly released Research Magazine 2021 ‘Aussie unis that lead the world’ and ‘Australia’s top 250 researchers in 2021’.
Australian universities were named for being the global leaders in 20 fields of research, with Deakin University accounting for three different research fields: Higher Education (for the second year running), Education, and International Business. This represents a significant measure of impact on global research.
The accolades recognise the crucial role research plays in bettering Australian lives, with several lists acknowledging Deakin researchers as some of the world’s brightest minds.

determine the top researcher and top research institution in each field of research. The citation metrics for David and Rola significantly contribute to Deakin’s position as a global leader in the fields of Higher Education and Education research and reflect CRADLE’s standing in these areas.
