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 Life Sciences ranking are:

Teaching:?바카라사이트 learning environment ¨C 27.5 per cent
Research:?volume, income and reputation ¨C 27.5 per cent
Citations:?research influence ¨C 35 per cent
International outlook:?staff, students and research - 7.5 per cent
Industry income:?innovation ¨C 2.5 per cent

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.

The majority of institutions in Thomson Reuters¡¯ Global Institutional Profiles database provide detailed subject-level information.

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