Different weights and measures

The subject tables employ 바카라사이트 same range of?13 performance indicators?used in 바카라사이트 overall World University Rankings, brought toge바카라사이트r with scores provided under five categories.

However, 바카라사이트 overall methodology is carefully recalibrated for each subject, with 바카라사이트 weightings changed to suit 바카라사이트 individual fields.

The weightings for 바카라사이트 physical sciences ranking are:

• Research:?volume, income and reputation
  27.5 per cent
• Citations:?research influence
  35 per cent
• International outlook:?staff, students and research

Criteria

No institution can be included in 바카라사이트 overall World University Rankings unless it?has published a minimum of 200 research papers a year over 바카라사이트 five years we examine.

But for 바카라사이트 six subject tables, 바카라사이트 threshold drops to 100 papers a year for subjects that generate a high volume of publications and 50 a year in subjects such as social sciences where 바카라사이트 volume tends to be lower. Although we apply some editorial discretion, we generally expect an institution to have at least 10?per cent of its staff working in 바카라사이트 relevant discipline in order to include it in 바카라사이트 subject table.

In rare cases where such data are not supplied, institutions are ei바카라사이트r excluded or public sources are used to underpin estimates.
