The IIHS Research Programme is one of the most productive urban programmes across the world, and particularly so in the Global South. As of March 2024, IIHS researchers collectively have over 1,450 publications; and more than 77,000 citations. IIHS’ current h-index is 101 (implying that 101 publications by IIHS have higher than 101 citations).
Research work done at IIHS is disseminated through a diverse set of forms ranging from academic journals to popular writing such as opinion pieces in leading domestic and international newspapers and magazines. IIHS researchers publish widely in international academic journals with high impact factors, and audiences across multiple disciplines and themes. IIHS’ research therefore circulates widely, across multiple registers with high impact, engaging not only with current academic debates but also across policy analysis and popular writing.
