Scholarset's list is the first global university ranking of its kind, focusing on research universities worldwide. In contrast to previous ranking systems, Scholarset relies on big data, concentrates in research output, and emphasizes on research quality. As such, its ranking accurately reflects the research performance and impact of world universities.
Universities in the United States continue to dominate the top 25 ranking, with No.7 University of Toronto, No. 8 University of Oxford, No. 10 University College London, and No. 13 University of Cambridge the only exceptions. University of Tokyo is the top Asia Pacific university ranked, listed at No. 33, followed by No. 53 University of Melbourne, No. 68 University of Sydney, and No. 72 National University of Singapore.
China's elite two, Peking University and Tsinghua University, both rank in top 150, reflecting the growing influence of Chinese academics. Other ranked Mainland's institutes include Zhejiang University, Fudan University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, University of Science and Technology of China, Nanjing University, and Sun Yat-Sen University.
Scholarset's Research Ranking of the Global Universities is based on four key metrics derived from bibliometric databases: (1) total research output; (2) accumulated research impact; (3) research impact per unit research output; and (4) high impact research output. With more emphasis on quality than quantities, different weights are given to these metrics to calculate the overall score for the final ranking.
Scholarset will also release its 2016 Research Ranking of Chinese Universities and Institutes on March 2nd.
