"The Best Global Universities rankings provide a starting point
for students to compare universities across the globe, within their
region, and even by specific discipline," said LaMont Jones, Ed.D., managing editor for
Education at U.S. News. "In their tenth year, the rankings have
expanded to include more schools and more subjects while ensuring a
focus on scholarly reputation and on institutions that prioritize
cutting-edge research."
This edition adds four new subject rankings: ecology; green and
sustainable science and technology; environmental engineering; and
marine & freshwater biology.
Powered by Web of Science™ data and InCites™ metrics
provided by ClarivateTM, a leading global provider of
transformative intelligence, the Best Global
Universities methodology weighs factors that measure a
university's global and regional research reputation and academic
research performance. For the overall ranking, this includes
bibliometric indicators such as publications, citations and
international collaboration. Each of the 51 subject rankings has
its own weighting based on academic research performance in that
specific area.
