The annual Subject Rankings of The Academic Ranking of World Universities, also known as Shanghai Ranking, are based on the number of scientific articles in the subject area, the impact of the publications, international collaboration, the number of publications in top journals in the subject field (journals listed by the Shanghai Ranking), and the number of staff winning a significant award in the subject field.
About ARWU
The list of the world’s 500 best universities is published annually by Shanghai Jiao Tong University and is therefore called the Shanghai ranking. The ARWU ranking is drawn up on the basis of the number of Nobel prizes, Fields Medals awarded to staff members and alumni and the number of citations and articles published in the scientific journals Nature and Science.
