LANDMARK CROSSES THE FIRST 1000 BENCHMARK IN SCOPUS
May 15, 2020 is celebration day at Landmark as the University just crossed her first - 1000 documents fully indexed in Scopus Journals. Of these numbers, a total of 432 are published in Gold Open access while the remaining 574 are Green.
This intentional feat followed the reawakening call of 2017, thereby making research and publishing at Landmark to be at a steadily upward pace with each year witnessing immense increase in the number of documents published and indexed in the Scopus database (The official publication and indexing platform for ranking world leading Universities). We can liken our research exploits to the word of the Lord in Isaiah 9:8 KJV which say “The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel”. Having keyed into the ever-increasing teachings and admonitions of Our Chancellor, Dr. David Oyedepo and the exploit of Our Sister University, Covenant, the University has since become a hub of research activities most leading to high impact publications. Taking a giant leap from the 2017 record of 75 Scopus indexed documents, LMU went on to record a whopping 228 documents in 2018 and this drastically increased to 387 for 2019. As at the time of writing this report, a total of 160 documents have already been indexed in Scopus for the year 2020. Indeed, the Lord has been gracious to us at LMU.

The NAEA, an annual event, is designed to celebrate and reward exceptional achievements within Nigeria’s education sector.

The organizers highlighted the core objectives of the awards: fostering a culture of continuous improvement, encouraging healthy competition, and elevating education standards across the country. The event showcased the remarkable accomplishments of students, educators, and institutions whose dedication is shaping the future of Nigeria’s education system.
Reflecting on the double recognition, Vice-Chancellor Professor Kolawole Ajanaku expressed his gratitude to the Landmark University proprietor under the Chairmanship of the Chancellor, Dr. David Oyedepo and the Pro-Chancellor, Pst (Mrs) Faith Oyedepo for the platform of Landmark University and their unwavering support. “This recognition is a celebration of our shared commitment to redefining education and creating transformative leaders for global impact,” he remarked. Professor Ajanaku also emphasized that these accolades underscore the university’s relentless pursuit of academic and operational excellence, as well as its focus on innovative practices and impactful research.
