Academic Ranking of World Universities

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source

The Academic Ranking of World Universities is compiled by Shanghai Jiao Tong University’s Institute of Higher Education and includes major institutes of higher education ranked according to a formula that took into account alumni winning Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals (10 percent), staff winning Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals (20 percent), “highly-cited researchers in 21 broad subject categories” (20 percent), articles published in Nature and Science (20 percent), the Science Citation Index, Social Sciences Citation Index, and Arts and Humanities Citation Index (20 percent) and the size of the institution (10 percent). The results have been cited by The Economist magazine .

The methodology is set out in an academic article by its originators, C.C. Liu and Y. Cheng. Liu and Cheng explain that the original purpose of doing the ranking was “to find out the gap between Chinese universities and world-class universities, particularly in terms of academic or research performance.”

Rankings

The table below contains the rankings from 2003 to 2007 for all universities which ranked at least 100 in one of the years. The ranking is omitted for years in which the school did not land within the top 100.
