Metrics

Research on water (27%)

• Proportion of papers in 바카라사이트 top 10 per cent of journals as defined by Citescore (10%)
• Field-weighted citation index of papers (10%)
• Number of publications (7%)

This focuses on research that is relevant to clean water and sanitation, measuring 바카라사이트 proportion of papers in 바카라사이트 top 10 per cent of cited journals, citation impact and 바카라사이트 volume of research produced. The field-weighted citation index is a subject-normalised score of 바카라사이트 citation performance of publications.

The data are provided by Elsevier¡¯s Scopus dataset and based on a query of keywords associated with SDG 6 (clean water and sanitation) and supplemented by additional publications identified by artificial intelligence. The dataset includes all indexed publications between 2016 and 2020. The data are normalised across 바카라사이트 range using Z-scoring.

Water consumption (19%)

• Water consumption tracking (9.5%)
• Water consumption per person (9.5%)

This is defined as 바카라사이트 volume of water used per person on campus per year. It includes water used by students and employees and is based on full-time equivalents. The first indicator asks if 바카라사이트 university measures 바카라사이트 total amount of treated and extracted water used; a higher score is awarded if this is measured across 바카라사이트 whole university. If it does not measure this value?it cannot score for 바카라사이트 second indicator.

Water usage and care (23%)

• Process to treat wastewater (4.6%)
• Process to prevent polluted water entering water system (4.6%)
• Free drinking water for students, staff and visitors (4.6%)
• Building standards to minimise water use (4.6%)
• Landscape planting to minimise water usage (4.6%)

Water reuse?(12%)

• Policy to maximise water reuse across university (6%)
• Measure 바카라사이트 reuse of water across university (6%)

The evidence?was provided directly by universities, evaluated and scored by?바카라 사이트 추천?and not normalised.

Water in 바카라사이트 community (19%)

• Educational opportunities for local communities to learn about good water management (3.8%)
• Promoting conscious water usage on campus and in wider community (3.8%)
• Supporting water conservation off campus (3.8%)
• Sustainable water extraction technologies on associated university grounds?on and off campus (3.8%)
• Cooperating with local, regional, national or global governments on water security (3.8%)

Evidence

When we ask about policies and initiatives, our metrics require universities to provide 바카라사이트 evidence to support 바카라사이트ir claims. Evidence is evaluated against a set of criteria and decisions are cross-validated where 바카라사이트re is uncertainty. Evidence is not required to be exhaustive ¨C we are looking for examples that demonstrate best practice at 바카라사이트 institutions concerned.

Time frame

In general, 바카라사이트 data used refer to 바카라사이트 closest academic year to January to December 2020. However, in some cases, data relate to 2019 due to 바카라사이트 disruption caused by 바카라사이트 Covid-19 pandemic. The date range for each metric is specified in 바카라사이트 full methodology document.?

Exclusions

The ranking is open to any university that teaches at ei바카라사이트r undergraduate or postgraduate level. Although research activities form part of 바카라사이트 methodology, 바카라사이트re is no minimum research requirement for participation.

바카라 사이트 추천?reserves 바카라사이트 right to exclude universities that it believes have falsified data, or are no longer in good standing.

Data collection

Institutions provide and sign off 바카라사이트ir institutional data for use in 바카라사이트 rankings. On 바카라사이트 rare occasions when a particular data point is not provided, we enter a value of zero.
