The AD Scientific Index (Alper-Doger Scientific Index), unlike other systems that provide evaluations for journals and universities, is a ranking and analysis system based on scientific performance and the added value of scientific productivity of individual scientists. Moreover, this system provides a ranking of institutions based on the characteristics of the institutions affiliated with the scientist. This new index has been developed by Prof. Dr. Murat ALPER (MD) and Associate Prof. Dr. Cihan DOGER (MD) using the total score and the last 5 years of the i10 index, h-index, and citation score on Google Scholar. In addition, the ratio of the value of the last 5 years to the total value of the index mentioned above is used. Using a total of nine parameters, the “AD Scientific Index” shows the ranking of an individual scientist based on 112 fields (Agriculture & Forestry, Arts, Design and Architecture, Business & Management, Economics & Econometrics, Education, Engineering & Technology, History, Philosophy, Theology, Law/Law and Legal Studies, Medical and Health Sciences, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences and Others), 256 branches, 14,153 institutions, 215 countries, 10 regions (Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, Arab League, EECA, BRICS, Latin America and COMESA) and in the world.

Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia has 49 lecturers who are ranked in the AD Scientific Index ranking and from the rankings in the AD Scientific Index system, two lecturers from the Department of Computer Science get a place. The lecturers are:
