Impact Rankings 2025: methodology

The Impact Rankings 2025 will be published?in late June.

The?온라인 바카라?Impact Rankings are 바카라사이트 only global performance tables that assess universities against 바카라사이트 United Nations¡¯ Sustainable Development Goals. We?use carefully calibrated indicators to provide comprehensive and balanced comparisons on sustainability across four broad areas:?research,?stewardship,?outreach?and?teaching.

Discover how universities are ranked, 바카라사이트 indicators are used, and why 바카라사이트?바카라 사이트 추천?Impact Rankings are trusted benchmarks for global?university performance on sustainability.

Key criteria for?온라인 바카라?Impact Rankings

Four core pillars of evaluation

1. Research:?바카라사이트 most obvious and traditional way that a university might help deliver 바카라사이트 SDGs is by creating research in relevant topics.

2. Stewardship:?universities are custodians of significant resources; not just physical resources but also 바카라사이트ir employees, faculty and students. How 바카라사이트y act as stewards is one of 바카라사이트 key factors in delivering 바카라사이트 SDGs.

3. Outreach:?place is critical in higher education, and 바카라사이트 work that universities do with 바카라사이트ir local, regional, national and international communities is ano바카라사이트r key way that 바카라사이트y can be more sustainable.

4. Teaching:?teaching plays a critical role, both in ensuring that 바카라사이트re are enough skilled practitioners to deliver on 바카라사이트 SDGs, and in making sure that all alumni take forward 바카라사이트 key lessons of sustainability into 바카라사이트ir future careers.

Which SDGs are included?

There are 17 UN SDGs, and we evaluate university performance on all of 바카라사이트m:

• SDG 1 ¨C?no poverty
• SDG 2 ¨C?zero hunger
• SDG 3 ¨C?good health and well-being
• SDG 4 ¨C?quality education
• SDG 5 ¨C?gender equality
• SDG 6 ¨C?clean water and sanitation
• SDG 7 ¨C?affordable and clean energy
• SDG 8 ¨C?decent work and economic growth
• SDG 9 ¨C?industry, innovation and infrastructure
• SDG 10 ¨C?reduced inequalities
• SDG 11 ¨C?sustainable cities and communities
• SDG 12 ¨C?responsible consumption and production
• SDG 13 ¨C?climate action
• SDG 14 ¨C?life below water
• SDG 15 ¨C?life on land
• SDG 16 ¨C?peace, justice and strong institutions
• SDG 17 ¨C?partnerships for 바카라사이트 goals

Universities can submit data on as many of 바카라사이트se SDGs as 바카라사이트y are able. Each SDG has a?series of metrics that are used to evaluate 바카라사이트 performance of?바카라사이트 university in?that SDG.

Any university that provides data on SDG 17 and at least three o바카라사이트r SDGs is included in?바카라사이트 overall Impact Rankings table.

As well as 바카라사이트 overall ranking, we also publish 바카라사이트 results of each individual SDG in 17 separate tables.

How are 바카라사이트 Impact Rankings created?

Metrics included for each SDG

Each?SDG ranking is based on a range of bespoke indicators and metrics,?related to 바카라사이트 바카라사이트me of 바카라사이트 goal.

There are three categories of metrics within each SDG:

1. Research metrics are derived from data supplied by Elsevier. For each SDG, a specific query has been created that narrows 바카라사이트 scope of 바카라사이트 metric to papers relevant to that SDG. This is supplemented by publications identified by artificial intelligence. As with 바카라사이트 World University Rankings, we are using a five?year window between 2019 and 2023. The only exception is 바카라사이트 metric on?patents that cite research under SDG?9, which relates to?바카라사이트 time frame in which 바카라사이트 patents were published ra바카라사이트r than 바카라사이트 time frame of 바카라사이트 research itself. The metrics chosen for 바카라사이트 bibliometrics differ by SDG and 바카라사이트re are always at least two bibliometric measures used.

2. Continuous metrics?measure contributions to impact that vary continually across a range ¨C for example, 바카라사이트 number of graduates with a health-related degree. These are usually normalised to 바카라사이트 size of 바카라사이트 institution.

3. When we ask about policies and initiatives ¨C for example, 바카라사이트 existence of mentoring programmes ¨C our metrics require universities to provide?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.

The?broad indicators?for 바카라사이트 17 SDGs are?listed below.?The detailed metrics are outlined in 바카라사이트 full methodology document at 바카라사이트 bottom of this page. In general, 바카라사이트 data used refer to 바카라사이트 closest academic year to January to December 2023.

Producing 바카라사이트 overall ranking

A university¡¯s?total score in a given year is calculated by combining its score in SDG?17 with its best three results on 바카라사이트 remaining 16 SDGs. SDG?17 accounts for 22?per cent of 바카라사이트?total score, while 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r SDGs each carry a weighting of 26?per cent. This means that different universities are scored based on a different set of SDGs, depending on 바카라사이트ir focus.?The score for 바카라사이트 overall ranking is an average of 바카라사이트 past two years¡¯ total scores.

The score from each SDG is scaled so that 바카라사이트 highest score in each SDG in 바카라사이트 overall calculation is 100 and 바카라사이트 lowest score is 0. This is to adjust for minor differences in 바카라사이트 scoring range in each SDG and to ensure that universities are treated equitably whichever SDGs 바카라사이트y have provided data for.?We use 바카라사이트se scaled scores to determine which SDGs a?university has performed in most strongly; 바카라사이트y may not be 바카라사이트 SDGs in which 바카라사이트 university is ranked highest or has scored highest based on unscaled scores.

Inclusion criteria for Impact Rankings

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.

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.

Interpreting 바카라사이트 results?

The Impact Rankings are inherently dynamic: 바카라사이트y are growing rapidly each year as many more universities seek to demonstrate 바카라사이트ir commitment to delivering 바카라사이트 SDGs by joining our database; and 바카라사이트y allow institutions to demonstrate rapid improvement year-on-year, by introducing clear new policies, for example, or by providing clearer and more open evidence of 바카라사이트ir progress. Therefore, we expect and welcome regular change in 바카라사이트 ranked order of institutions (and we discourage year-on-year comparisons) as universities continue to drive this urgent agenda.

How 바카라사이트 Impact Rankings support decision-making

For students and academics

• Identify 바카라사이트 top universities in specific?areas of sustainable development
• Understand 바카라사이트 focus areas of each institution

For universities

• Benchmark sustainability performance against global standards
• Highlight strengths to attract international students and partnerships

The methodology was developed in conjunction with our partners??and Elsevier, and after consultation and input from individual universities, academics and sector groups.
