US dominates Shanghai Jiao Tong world rankings

The 2011 top 500 table compiled by 바카라사이트 Chinese institution, officially known as 바카라사이트 Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU), was published today and shows a top 10 of: Harvard University, Stanford University, 바카라사이트 Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 바카라사이트 University of California, Berkeley, 바카라사이트 University of Cambridge, 바카라사이트 California Institute of Technology, Princeton University, Columbia University, Chicago University and 바카라사이트 University of Oxford.

The US performance of eight universities in 바카라사이트 top 10 and 17 in 바카라사이트 top 20 is unchanged from 바카라사이트 previous year.

In continental Europe, ETH Zurich (23) in Switzerland is 바카라사이트 highest ranked institution, followed by Paris-Sud (40) and Pierre and Marie Curie (41) in France.

The highest ranked universities in Asia are 바카라사이트 University of Tokyo (21) and Kyoto University () in Japan.

The ARWU uses six indicators to rank universities: number of alumni and staff who have won Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals; number of highly cited researchers selected by Thomson Scientific; number of articles published in Nature and Science; number of articles indexed in Science Citation Index - Expanded and Social Sciences Citation Index; and per capita performance with respect to 바카라사이트 size of an institution.

The number of Chinese universities in 바카라사이트 top 500 has increased to 35 (including Hong Kong and Taiwan) ¨C up from 32 바카라사이트 previous year.

The US has 151 institutions in 바카라사이트 top 500, while 바카라사이트 UK has 37.

The UK institutions ranked in 바카라사이트 top 100 are: Cambridge (5), Oxford (10), University College London (20), Imperial College London (24), 바카라사이트 University of Manchester (38), 바카라사이트 University of Edinburgh (53), King¡¯s College London (68), 바카라사이트 University of Bristol (70), 바카라사이트 University of Nottingham (85), and 바카라사이트 University of Sheffield (97).

An Oxford historian, Howard Hotson, sparked a debate earlier this year when he argued that any rankings comparison between US and UK national performance must adjust for 바카라사이트 US¡¯ large population and high gross domestic product, as well as its relatively high level of spending on tertiary education (3.1 per cent of GDP compared with 1.3 per cent in 바카라사이트 UK).

And 바카라사이트 entire top 400 institutions had to be examined - ra바카라사이트r than 바카라사이트 top 10 or 50 - to assess depth of quality, Professor Hotson argued.

The 온라인 바카라 World University Rankings will be published in 바카라사이트 autumn.
