SI is a standardized measurement model to assess Research, Innovation & Commercialization (RIC) performance of ORICs and R&D units.
To provide clear indicators, transparent scoring, and practical guidance for universities to improve research impact and industry linkages.
Universities, research institutes, industry partners, policymakers, and national R&D agencies seeking evidence-based RIC evaluation.
Output quality, grants, and research infrastructure that build knowledge and visibility.
Representative indicators: Scopus/WoS papers; H-index contribution; national & international grants.
Culture, prototyping, and digital integration that convert ideas into solutions.
Representative indicators: hackathons, prototypes, TRL progress, AI adoption in R&D.
IP management, licensing, and industry projects that turn ideas into market outcomes.
Representative indicators: patents filed/granted; technology licensing; startups spun-out.
Incubation, acceleration, and entrepreneurial capacity to create jobs and startups.
Representative indicators: incubator capacity, startup survival, funding access.
Policies, international linkages and community impact that enable sustainable RIC systems.
Representative indicators: policies & SOPs, MoUs, social innovation projects.
Each indicator is scored 0–5 (0 = No activity, 5 = Outstanding / global visibility). Scores aggregate into the composite RIC score and readiness category.
