Although Peking University still ranks above Tsinghua University in 바카라사이트 latest Times Higher ?Education World University Rankings, Tsinghua now leads in 바카라사이트 Asia rankings because of 바카라사이트 difference in metric weightings between 바카라사이트 two tables.

Research productivity, research income and industry income have more weight in 바카라사이트 Asia rankings, while teaching and research reputation both count for less.
