HSE in Rankings

The overall ranking methodology is based on six main criteria: academic reputation, employer reputation, faculty/student ratio, number of citations per faculty member, international student ratio, and international staff ratio.

QS Ranking uses a combination of international research and citation information from Scopus, the world’s largest database of research abstracts and citations. The most recent five complete years of data are used, and the total citation count is assessed in relation to the number of academic faculty members at the university so that larger institutions do not have an unfair advantage.

QS has been publishing rankings of young universities since 2012 to track the progress of young, fast-developing HEIs which present a  growing challenge to the long-established players in the field of higher education. 

THE World University Rankings

Dynamics

The ranking is based on a series of statistical measurements and surveys of employers, scholars, students and alumni.

The following factors are taken into account: quality of education (weight = 0,5); employer reputation (weight = 0,3); research (weight = 0,2).

Each factor integrates several criteria, including quality of teaching, international integration, resources, alumni careers, cooperation with employers, achievements in research, innovation, etc.

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 1500 universities are actually ranked and the best 500 are published. In 2018, those universities ranked between 501 and 1000 are also published as ARWU World Top 500 Candidates.

The ranking methodology assesses bibliometric indicators based on data from the Web of Science with 75% weight and takes into account the results of the reputation surveys conducted by Thomson Reuters with 25% weight.

The methodology evaluates three key university missions: education, science and interaction with society.

Dynamics

The rankings are based on academic reputation, employer reputation and research impact and include five categories – Arts & Humanities, Engineering & Technology, Life Sciences & Medice, Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences & Management.

The rating highlights the top universities in the five BRICS countries – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – and takes into account the key features of developing economies. The ranking is based on eight performance indicators: academic reputation, employer reputation, proportion of staff with a PhD, faculty/student ratio, research publication and citation rates, and proportion of international faculty and students.

QS University Ranking: EECA highlights the leading 300 universities in Emerging Europe and Central Asia, based on nine key performance indicators that include academic and employer reputation, faculty/student ratio, publication activity, and internationalization.

New ranking by Webometrics has been published since 2015. It is based on citation indices of the authors registered on Google Scholar.

Dynamics

RePEc is one of the largest bibliographic databases of reserach papers in Economics. The ranking is based on the data about registeted authors, research institutions, bibliographic data collected by RePEc, CitEc analysis of citation and LogEc stats. The information is updated on a monthly basis.

Webometrics  is performed by Cybermetrics Lab — a research group belonging to the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), the largest public research body in Spain.

The rating is based on the following criteria:

• Impact, as measured by counting all the external inlinks that the university’s internet domain receives from third parties. These links recognize the institutional prestige, academic performance, information value, and usefulness of the services introduced on the university’s webpages according to the criteria set forth by millions of web editors from around the world.  Impact is measured as the number of webpages indexed by search engines.
• Presence is the total number of webpages hosted at the university’s main domain (including all the subdomains and directories) as indexed by the largest commercial search engine (Google) (number of external links to the website)
• Openness is the number of rich files (pdf, doc, docx, ppt) published on dedicated websites according to the academic search engine Google Scholar.
• Excellence is a measure of high-quality output by research institutions based on the number of university publications among the 10% of the most cited papers. These data come from the Scimago group.

Dinamics

The rating takes into account the popularity of a university website and includes 11,000 universities and colleges in more than 200 countries. It uses the following criteria:

• Google Page Rank
• Alexa Traffic Rank
• Majestic Seo Referring Domain

The main criterion for this rating, which is updated monthly, is the number of downloads and citations of publications affiliated with the research centre or university 

In 2018 this ranking was published for the first time by the Times Higher Education; only highly reputable institutions were eligible (at least 100 academic experts must vote). Selected universities were ranked according to the number of international students and teachers and the number of publications which are co-authored with foreign scholars. More information
