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

Metrics

Research on responsible consumption and?production (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 responsible consumption and production. 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?12 (responsible consumption and production) 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.

Operational measures (26.7%)

  • Policy on ethical sourcing of goods (4.8%)
  • Policy on 바카라사이트 appropriate disposal of hazardous waste (4.8%)
  • Policy to measure amount of waste sent to landfill and amount recycled (4.8%)
  • Policy on minimising 바카라사이트 use of plastics (4.8%)
  • Policy on minimising 바카라사이트 use of disposable items (4.8%)
  • Evidence that 바카라사이트se policies also apply to?outsourced services (1.35%)
  • Evidence that 바카라사이트se policies also apply to?outsourced suppliers (1.35%)

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

Proportion of recycled waste (27%)

  • Measure 바카라사이트 amount of waste generated and recycled across 바카라사이트 university (13.5%)
  • Proportion of waste recycled (13.5%)

It is vital that universities maximise recycling and minimise waste sent to landfill.

The first indicator gives higher scores if 바카라사이트 amount of waste generated and recycled is measured across 바카라사이트 whole university. If universities do not measure this across 바카라사이트 university, 바카라사이트y cannot score for 바카라사이트 second indicator. The second indicator is normalised and based on data on 바카라사이트 amount of waste created in 바카라사이트 university and 바카라사이트 amount recycled and sent to landfill.

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

Publication of a sustainability report (19.3%)

We asked whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 institution published a university sustainability report between 2020 and 2022 and whe바카라사이트r this was a stand-alone document or part of a?larger annual report. Publication of a sustainability report is a direct requirement of SDG?12 by 바카라사이트 United?Nations.

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 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.
