• Abstract: This study employs scientometric methods to assess the research output and performance of the University of Nigeria from 2014 to 2023. By analyzing publication trends, citation patterns, and collaboration networks, the research aims to comprehensively evaluate the university's research productivity, impact, and disciplinary focus. These research endeavors are characterized by innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and commitment to excellence, making the University of Nigeria a significant hub for cutting-edge research in Nigeria and beyond. The present study has been undertaken to determine the impact of the university's research and publication trends from 2014 to 2023. The study focuses on year-wise research output, citation impact at local and global levels, prominent authors and their total output, top journals, collaborating countries, and the most contributing departments of the University of Nigeria. The university's ten years of publication data indicate that 6,353 papers were published from 2014 to 2023, receiving 86,202 citations with an h-index of 39. In addition to this, the stenographical mapping of data is presented through graphs using the VOSviewer software mapping technique. The findings of this study will contribute to understanding the university's research strengths, weaknesses, and potential areas for improvement. Additionally, the results will inform evidence-based decision-making for enhancing research strategies and policies at the University of Nigeria

  In 1960 14% of 333 research fields were related to AI, but this increased to over half of all research fields by 1972, over 80% by 1986 and over 98% in current times. In 1960 14% of 333 research fields were related to AI (many in computer science), but this increased to over half of all research fields by 1972, over 80% by 1986 and over 98% in current times. We conclude that the context of the current surge appears different, and that interdisciplinary AI application is likely to be sustained.
