Academic Ranking of World Universities 2015

About ARWU
The Academic Ranking of World
Universities (ARWU) was first
published in June 2003 by the Center
for World-Class Universities (CWCU),
Graduate School of Education (formerly
the Institute of Higher Education) of
Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China,
and updated on an annual basis.
ARWU uses six objective indicators to
rank world universities, including the
number of alumni and staff winning
Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals,
number of highly cited researchers
selected by Thomson Reuters, number
of articles published in journals of
Nature and Science, number of articles
indexed in Science Citation Index -
Expanded and Social Sciences Citation
Index, and per capita performance of a
university. More than 1200 universities
are actually ranked by ARWU every
year and the best 500 are published.
Although the initial purpose of
ARWU was to find the global standing
of top Chinese universities, it has
attracted a great deal of attention from
universities, governments and public
media worldwide. ARWU has been
reported by mainstream media in
almost all major countries. Hundreds
of universities cited the ranking results
in their campus news, annual reports
or promotional brochures. A survey
on higher education published by
The Economist in 2005 commented
ARWU as “the most widely used
annual ranking of the world’s research
Academic Ranking of World Universities 2015 15 August 2015 3
universities”. Burton Bollag, a reporter
at Chronicle of Higher Education wrote
that ARWU “is considered the most
influential international ranking”.
One of the factors for the significant
influence of ARWU is that its
methodology is scientifically sound,
stable and transparent. The EU
Research Headlines reported ARWU
work on 31st December 2003: “The
universities were carefully evaluated
using several indicators of research
performance.” Chancellor of Oxford
University, Chris Patten, said “it
looks like a pretty good stab at a
fair comparison.” Professor Simon
Margison of Institute of Education,
University of London commented that
one of the strengths of “the academically
rigorous and globally inclusive Jiao
Tong approach” is “constantly tuning its
rankings and invites open collaboration
in that”.
ARWU and its content have been
widely cited and employed as a
starting point for identifying national
strengths and weaknesses as well as
facilitating reform and setting new
initiatives. Bill Destler, the President of
the Rochester Institute of Technology,
drew reference to ARWU to analyze
the comparative advantages that the
Western Europe and US have in terms
of intellectual talent and creativity in
his publication in the journal Nature.
Martin Enserink referred to ARWU
and argued in his paper published in
Science that “France’s poor showing in
the Shanghai ranking ... helped trigger a
national debate about higher education
that resulted in a new law... giving
universities more freedom.
In order to better meet the diversified
needs for the global comparison of
universities, besides ARWU, CWCU
developed the Academic Ranking
of World Universities by Broad
Subject Fields (ARWU-FIELD)
in 2007 and Academic Ranking of
World Universities by Subject Fields
(ARWU-SUBJECT) in 2009. ARWU-
FIELD provides the world’s top 200
universities in five broad subject
fields, including Natural Sciences
and Mathematics, Engineering/
Technology and Computer Sciences,
Life and Agriculture Sciences, Clinical
Medicine and Pharmacy, and Social
Sciences. ARWU-SUBJECT publishes
the world’s top 200 universities in five
ranked subjects, including Mathematics,
Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science
and Economics/Business.
Since 2009 the Academic Ranking
of World Universities (ARWU) has

Ranking Methodology
Selection of Universities
ARWU considers every university that
has any Nobel Laureates, Fields Medalists,
Highly Cited Researchers, or papers
published in Nature or Science. In addition,
universities with significant amount of
papers indexed by Science Citation Index-
Expanded (SCIE) and Social Science
Citation Index (SSCI) are also included.
In total, more than 1200 universities
are actually ranked and the best 500 are
published on the web.

Ranking Criteria and
Weights
Universities are ranked by several indicators
of academic or research performance,
including alumni and staff winning Nobel
Prizes and Fields Medals, highly cited
researchers, papers published in Nature and
Science, papers indexed in major citation
indices, and the per capita academic
performance 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. The distribution of data
Highly cited researchers in 21

Per capita performance of

Papers indexed in Science Citation
Index-expanded and Social
Science Citation Index
for each indicator is examined for any
significant distorting effect; standard
statistical techniques are used to adjust
the indicator if necessary. Scores for each
indicator are weighted as shown below
to arrive at a final overall score for an
institution. The highest scoring institution
is assigned a score of 100, and other
institutions are calculated as a percentage of
the top score. An institution’s rank reflects
the number of institutions that sit above it.
Definition of Indicators
Alumni
The total number of the alumni of an
institution winning Nobel Prizes and
Fields Medals. Alumni are defined as those
who obtain bachelor, Master’s or doctoral
degrees from the institution. Different
weights are set according to the periods of
obtaining degrees. The weight is 100% for
alumni obtaining degrees in 2001-2010,
90% for alumni obtaining degrees in 1991-
2000, 80% for alumni obtaining degrees
in 1981-1990, and so on, and finally 10% for
alumni obtaining degrees in 1911-1920. If a
person obtains more than one degrees from
an institution, the institution is considered
once only.
Award
The total number of the staff of an
institution winning Nobel Prizes in Physics,
Chemistry, Medicine and Economics
and Fields Medal in Mathematics. Staff is
defined as those who work at an institution
at the time of winning the prize. Different
weights are set according to the periods
of winning the prizes. The weight is 100%
for winners after 2011, 90% for winners in
2001-2010, 80% for winners in 1991-2000,
70% for winners in 1981-1990, and so on,
and finally 10% for winners in 1921-1930.
If a winner is affiliated with more than one
institution, each institution is assigned the
reciprocal of the number of institutions. For
Nobel prizes, if a prize is shared by more
than one person, weights are set for winners
according to their proportion of the prize.
HiCi
The number of Highly Cited Researchers
selected by Thomson Reuters. Thomson
Reuters had issued two lists of Highly Cited
Researchers: the old list was first issued
in 2001, it identified more than 6,000
researchers and the number of Highly Cited

The number of papers published in

2014. To distinguish the order of author
affiliation, a weight of 100% is assigned
for corresponding author affiliation, 50%

Methodology of
Academic Ranking of World
Universities by
Broad Subject Fields
(ARWU-FIELD)
Selection of Universities
The ranking list for ARWU - FIELD in-
cludes every institution that has any Nobel
Laureates, Fields Medals, and Highly-Cited
Researchers. In addition, major universities
of every country with significant amount
of articles indexed by Science Citation In-
dex-Expanded (SCIE) and Social Science
Citation Index (SSCI) are also included.
In total, more than 1200 institutions have
been actually ranked in each broad subject
field.
Institutions are ranked by five broad subject
fields,including:
-Natural Sciences and Mathematics (SCI)
-Engineering/Technology and Computer Sciences (ENG)
-Life and Agriculture Sciences (LIFE)
-Clinical Medicine and Pharmacy (MED)
-Social Sciences (SOC)
Definition of Broad Subject
Fields
Arts and humanities are not ranked be-
cause of the technical difficulties in finding
internationally comparable indicators with
reliable data. Psychology/Psychiatry is not
included in the ranking because of its mul-
ti-disciplinary characteristics.
winning Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals,
Highly Cited Researchers, articles indexed
in Science Citation Index-Expanded (SCIE)
and Social Science Citation Index (SSCI).
Two new indicators were introduced, one is
the percentage of articles published in the
top 20% journals of each field, and the other
is the engineering research expenditure.
Ranking Criteria and
Weights
For each indicator, the highest scoring
institution is assigned a score of 100, and
other institutions are calculated as a per-
centage of the top score. The distribution of
data for each indicator is examined for any
significant distorting effect and standard
statistical techniques are used to adjust the
indicator if necessary.
Scores for each indicator are weighted to ar-
rive at a final overall score for an institution.
The highest scoring institution is assigned
a total score of 100, and other institutions
are calculated as a percentage of the top
total score. The scores are then placed in
descending order.

Similar to ARWU, institutions are ranked

according to their academic or research
performance in each broad subject field.
Ranking indicators include alumni and staff

 Definition of Indicators
Alumni
Indicates the total number of the alumni of
an institution winning Nobel Prize in physics,
chemistry, medicine and economics and Fields
Medals in mathematics. Alumni are defined as
those who obtain bachelor, Master’s or doctoral
degrees from the institution. Different weights
are set according to the periods of obtaining
degrees. The weight is 100% for alumni
obtaining degrees in 2001-2010, 80% for alumni
obtaining degrees in 1991-2000, 60% for alumni
obtaining degrees in 1981-1990, 40% for alumni
obtaining degrees in 1971-1980, and finally 20%
for alumni obtaining degrees in 1961-1970. If a
person obtains more than one degrees from an
institution, the institution is considered once
only. Nobel Laureates in Physiology or Medicine
are used in bothLIFE and MED ranking.
Award
Indicates the total number of the staff of an
institution winning Nobel Prizes in physics,
chemistry, medicine and economics and Fields
Medals in mathematics. Staff is defined as
those who work at an institution at the time
of winning the prize. Different weights are set
according to the periods of winning the prizes.
The weight is 100% for winners after 2011, 80%
for winners in 2001-2010, 60% for winners in
1991-2000, 40% for winners in 1981-1990, and
finally 20% for winners in 1971-1980. If a winner
is affiliated with more than one institution,
each institution is assigned the reciprocal of the
number of institutions. For Nobel Prizes, if a
prize is shared by more than one person, weights
are set for winners according to their proportion
of the prize. Nobel Laureates in Physiology or
Medicine are used in both LIFE and MED
ranking.
46 15 August 2015 Academic Ranking of World Universities 2015
HiCi
Indicates the number of highly cited researchers
in twenty subject categories defined and
provided by highlycited.com. These highly
cited researchers are assigned to five broad
subject fields. If a researcher is listed in more
than one subject category, his/her weight for
each category is the reciprocal of the number of
categories listed. Specifically, researchers who
are listed in Social Science, General Category
are checked one by one, and they are reclassified
into three groups according to their affiliation
colleges/departments. People worked at health-
related units such as medical school, school
of public health and school of nursing are
grouped for MED ranking, people affiliated to
Psychology/Psychiatry departments are not
considered for the ranking, other individuals in
this category are totaled for SOC ranking.
PUB
Indicates the total number of papers indexed
by Science Citation Index-Expanded and Social
Science Citation Index in 2013 and 2014. Only
publications of ‘Article’ type is considered.
Each paper published by an institution is
assigned into one of the six broad subject fields
according to journals the paper was published in
(Classification of Journal Categories), including
above-mentioned five broad subject fields
and Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary
Sciences. If a paper is published in a multi-
assigned journal (which is assigned to more
than one ISI category), it is divided into related
groups.
TOP
Indicates the percentage of papers published in
the top 20% journals of each broad subject field.
Top 20% journals are defined as their impact
factors in the top 20% of each ISI category
according to Journal Citation Report, 2013.
Papers in the top journals of each ISI category
are then aggregated into the six broad subject
fields and the TOP is calculated as the number
of papers in the top 20% journals of a particular
broad subject field to that in all journals of the
field. A threshold was set for the minimum
number of papers in each broad subject field
for calculating TOP indicator. The threshold
was defined as 10% of the average number of
papers by the top three institutions in each
broad subject field. If the number of papers of
an institution does not meet the minimum
threshold, the TOP indicator is not calculated
for the institution and its weight is relocated to
other indicators. Only publications of ‘Article’
type is considered.
Fund
Indicates the total engineering-related research
expenditures in 2014. This indicator is only
used for ENG ranking. If the data for all
institutions of a country cannot be obtained, the
Fund indicator will not be considered for the
institutions and its weight will be relocated to
other indicators. For this ranking, the amounts
of engineering-related research expenditures are
obtained only for institutions in USA and some
institutions in Canada.

for any significant distorting effect and
standard statistical techniques are used to
adjust the indicator if necessary.
Scores for each indicator are weighted
to arrive at a final overall score for an
institution. The highest scoring institution
is assigned a total score of 100, and other
institutions are calculated as a percentage
of the top total score. The scores are then
placed in descending order.

Ranking Criteria and

Weights

Similar to ARWU, institutions are ranked

according to their academic or research
performance in each subject field. Ranking
indicators include alumni and staff
winning Nobel Prizes, Fields Medals and
Turing Awards, Highly Cited Researchers,
papers indexed in Science Citation Index-
Expanded (SCIE) and Social Science
Citation Index (SSCI). A new indicator, the

Definition of Indicators
Alumni
Indicates the total number of the alumni
of an institution winning Fields Medals
in Mathematics, Nobel Prizes in Physics,
Chemistry and Economics and Turing Awards
in Computer Science. Alumni are defined as
those who obtain bachelor, Master’s or doctoral
degrees from the institution. Different weights
are set according to the periods of obtaining
degrees. The weight is 100% for alumni
obtaining degrees in 2001-2010, 80% for alumni
obtaining degrees in 1991-2000, 60% for alumni
obtaining degrees in 1981-1990, 40% for alumni
obtaining degrees in 1971-1980, and finally 20%
for alumni obtaining degrees in 1961-1970. If a
person obtains more than one degrees from an
institution, the institution is considered once
only.
Award
Indicates the total number of the staff of an
institution winning Fields Medals in Mathe-
matics, Nobel Prizes in Physics, Chemistry and
Economics and Turing Awards in Computer
Science. Staff is defined as those who work at an
institution at the time of winning the prize. Dif-
ferent weights are set according to the periods of
winning the prizes. The weight is 100% for win-
74 15 August 2015 Academic Ranking of World Universities 2015
ners after 2011, 80% for winners in 2001-2010,
60% for winners in 1991-2000, 40% for winners
in 1981-1990, and finally 20% for winners in
1971-1980. If a winner is affiliated with more
than one institution, each institution is assigned
the reciprocal of the number of institutions. For
Nobel Prizes, if a prize is shared by more than
one person, weights are set for winners accord-
ing to their proportion of the prize.
HiCi
Indicates the number of highly cited researchers
in twenty categories defined and provided
by isihighlycited.com. These highly cited
researchers are assigned to relevant subject fields
according to the category which they belong
to. If a researcher is listed in more than one
category, his/her weight for each category is the
reciprocal of the number of categories listed.
PUB
Indicates the total number of papers indexed by
Science Citation Index-Expanded and Social
Science Citation Index in 2013 and 2014. Only
publications of ‘Article’ type is considered. Each
paper published by an institution is assigned into
relevant subject fields according to journals the
paper was published in (Classification of Journal
Categories). If a paper is published in a mul-
ti-assigned journal (which is assigned to more
than one ISI category), it is divided into related
groups.
TOP
Indicates the percentage of papers published in
the top 20% journals of each subject field. Top
20% journals are defined as their impact factors
in the top 20% of each ISI category according to
Journal Citation Report, 2013. Papers in the top
journals of each ISI category are then aggregated
into subject fields and the TOP is calculated as
the number of papers in the top 20% journals of
a particular subject field to that in all journals of
the field. A threshold was set for the minimum
number of papers in each subject field for
calculating TOP indicator. The threshold was
defined as 10% of the average number of papers
by the top three institutions in each subject field.
If the number of papers of an institution does
not meet the minimum threshold, the TOP
indicator is not calculated for the institution and
its weight is relocated to other indicators. Only
publications of ‘Article’ type is considered.
