The Shanghai Ranking
Created in 2003 by Shanghai Jiao Tong University, the Shanghai Ranking (ARWU – Academic Ranking of World Universities) evaluates the research performance of higher education institutions worldwide. It identifies the world’s top 1,000 universities based on six weighted indicators: the number of alumni who have won Nobel Prizes or Fields Medals (10% of the overall score), the number of faculty Nobel laureates and Fields Medalists (20%), the number of highly cited researchers (20%), the number of articles published in Nature and Science (20%), the number of papers indexed in the Science Citation Index-Expanded and the Social Science Citation Index (20%), and the per capita academic performance of faculty, combining the five previous indicators relative to the number of full-time academic staff (10%).
