Measuring academic achievement has become problematic in recent years, owing to the proliferation of different ideas that have resulted in the development of several scales to assess academic performance. Due to the lack of justice in judging researchers from various disciplines of knowledge, relying on scientific databases such as WOS and Scopus has been insufficient. If we look closely, our current scholars have been assessed using a single generalised tool, which is somewhat misleading and unfounded, similar to comparing an apple to orange rather than a red apple and a green apple. As a result, the outcomes produced will be skewed, with pure or medical scientists benefiting at the expense of others. The development of fair measures is expected to close the knowledge and contribution gaps that existed between scientists and artists. This research aims to create a new metric that will reveal new perspectives on academic performance. Notably, the established measure tends to be comprehensive in quantifying the contributions made by scholars, who have varying amounts and quality of scholarly publications, as well as their contributions to administrations, grants, and society in general. It is intended to do so in order to create a real performance index with “ethical” values in order to close the gap between science and social disciplines, and therefore to promote any candidates who can be found using our produced index
