The Academic Ranking of World Universities

The Institute of Higher Education of the Shanghai Jiao Tong University ranks universities by several indicators of academic or research performance, including alumni and staff winning Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals, highly cited researchers, articles published in Nature and Science, articles in Science Citation Index-expanded and Social Science Citation Index, and academic performance with respect to the size of an institution. Used criteria are:

• Quality of education, given by the Alumni of an institution winning Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals.

• Quality of Faculty, measured by the Staff of an institution winning Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals and the highly cited researchers in 21 broad subject categories.

• Research Output, measured through the Articles published in Nature and Science and the Articles in Science Citation Index expanded and Social Science Citation Index.

• Size of Institution, measured by the Academic performance with respect to the size of an institution.

For each indicator, the highest scoring institution is assigned a score of 100, and other institutions are calculated as a percentage of the top score.
