Ontario Tech acknowledges the lands and people of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation.

We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples.

We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.

This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

University professors share their expertise and knowledge through teaching students, but also by publishing their research findings in peer-reviewed scholarly publications in the form of journal articles and books. These research publications report empirical findings, innovative discoveries and breakthroughs, as well as new ideas and theories. The main audience for these publications are other experts around the world.

Ontario Tech University proudly shares news that two of its researchers in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science (FEAS) have earned the mark of exceptional impact for making the 2021 exclusive list of Highly Cited Researchers (HCR), ranking in the top one per cent of citations by international peers for field and year of publication in the Web of Science (see methodology):

Professors Dincer and Rosen both lead major research programs focused on clean energy systems and hydrogen technology, which reflect the world-class strength Ontario Tech has established in energy research. The HCR’s exclusive list represents 6,600 of the world’s leading scientists and social scientists who demonstrate significant global influence through multiple research publications.

What is a citation?

New knowledge in universities is built upon the prior research work of others, which is why academic papers carefully acknowledge previous scholarship in the form of citations. A citation is a formal reference to a consulted source where information was obtained to shape the content of an academic’s new research publication. Citations give credit to the original author or creator of ideas and are a vital indicator of academic credibility and influence.
