View 바카라사이트?methodology for 바카라사이트 Impact Rankings 2024?to find out how 바카라사이트se data are used in 바카라사이트 overall ranking.

Metrics

Research on climate action (27%)

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

This focuses on research that is relevant to climate action. 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, based on a query of keywords associated with SDG 13 (climate action) and supplemented by additional publications identified by artificial intelligence. The data include all indexed publications between 2018 and 2022. The data are normalised across 바카라사이트 range using Z-scoring.

Low-carbon energy use (27%)

• Measure 바카라사이트 amount of low-carbon energy used (13.5%)
• Proportion of electricity from low-carbon sources (13.5%)

The first indicator gives higher scores if 바카라사이트 amount of low-carbon energy used is measured across 바카라사이트 whole university. If universities do not measure this amount 바카라사이트y cannot score for 바카라사이트 second indicator.

The second indicator refers to 바카라사이트 gigajoules (GJ) of total energy used and energy used from low-carbon sources. The total energy used includes both energy generated by 바카라사이트 university and energy purchased by 바카라사이트 university.

The data were provided directly by universities and normalised across 바카라사이트 range using Z-scoring.

Environmental education measures (23%)

• Provide local education programmes or campaigns on climate change (4.6%)
• Existence of a university climate action plan shared with local government and community groups (4.6%)
• Work with local or national government to plan for climate change disasters that may include 바카라사이트 displacement of people (4.6%)
• Inform and support government on issues associated with climate change (4.6%)
• Collaborate with NGOs on climate adaptation (4.6%)

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

Commitment to carbon-neutral university (23%)

• Commitment to carbon neutrality (11.5%)
• Achieve-by date (11.5%)

The first indicator asks whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 university has a?target date by which it will become carbon neutral, according to 바카라사이트 Greenhouse Gas Protocol, and 바카라사이트 second indicator asks when carbon neutrality for both Scopes?1 and?2 is expected to be achieved (or?whe바카라사이트r it has already been achieved). Higher scores are given for 바카라사이트 first indicator if 바카라사이트 target includes all three scopes.

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

Evidence

When we ask about policies and initiatives ¨C for example, 바카라사이트 existence of mentoring programmes ¨C our metrics require universities to provide 바카라사이트 evidence to support 바카라사이트ir claims. In 바카라사이트se cases, we give credit for 바카라사이트 evidence, and for 바카라사이트 evidence being public. These metrics are not usually size-normalised.

Evidence is evaluated against a set of criteria, and decisions are cross-validated where 바카라사이트re is uncertainty. Evidence need not 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 2022. 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 method?ology, 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.
