The 2013 Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) report is released
The 2013 Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) report has been released in August 17, by the Center for World-Class Universities at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
ARWU uses six objective indicators to rank world universities, including the number of alumni and staff winning Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals, number of highly cited researchers selected by Thomson Scientific, number of articles published in journals of Nature and Science, number of articles indexed in Science Citation Index - Expanded and Social Sciences Citation Index, and per capita performance with respect to the size of an institution. More than 1000 universities are actually ranked by ARWU every year and the best 500 are published on the web.
