Caption Professor Robert Burch MRIA, Head of the School of Chemistry at Queen's University Belfast. Queen's School of Chemistry has been named the leading Chemistry School for research citations per paper published in the UK for the period from 2001 to 2005 by the Thomson Scientific, publishers of Science Watch

The School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering has moved into the top 20 in the UK in terms of research power as a result of the recent Research Assessment Exercise (RAE). This is a very significant achievement for a School that is a combined school of chemistry and engineering. It reflects the earlier research results published in Science Watch, which ranks UK universities based on both the total number of citations and the average number of references to them as authorities in research papers published during the 2001-2005 period. This showed that the School of Chemistry in Queen’s had overtaken the research powerhouses of Oxford and Cambridge to be named the leading institution for research citations per paper published in the field of Chemistry during this period.

The Head of the School of Chemistry, Professor Robbie Burch, said "Credit goes first and foremost to all the staff, both academic and support staffs in Chemistry, who have contributed to this success through their commitment and dedication. The outcome is also a ringing endorsement of the financial support provided by the University and the Mc Clay Trust which has allowed the recruitment of outstanding staff in recent years. Through these investments the School has developed research at Queen's which is now recognized as “world-leading” in the areas of Catalysis and Materials.
