Abstract Among other things, the performance of a university can be measured based on the volume and the impact of their scholarly research publications. However, the empirical evidence that are needed for objective analysis, evaluation, and ranking of universities based on this factor are often not readily and freely accessible to the public. In this paper, the trends of research publications in Nigerian Universities are analyzed. The total number of scholarly articles published by academic researchers in 67 Nigerian universities over a period of ten years (2008-2017) were sourced from Scopus abstracting/indexing database. Nigerian universities covered include 32 federal universities, 26 state universities, and nine private universities. The publication trends are presented using tables and graphs. Also, yearly percentage growth in scholarly research outputs are computed for each university. In practice, the insights provided will propel a more informed policy formulation and implementation towards improving institutional academic research productivity.
