The Higher Education Ranking this year includes over 1,600 universities across 99 countries, and the ranking is based on institution's performance in four areas- teaching, research, knowledge transfer, and international outlook. "This year’s ranking analysed more than 108 million citations across over 14.4 million research publications and included survey responses from almost 22,000 scholars globally. Overall, we collected over 430,000 datapoints from more than 2,100 institutions that submitted data," THE release mentioned.
Phil Baty, Chief Knowledge Officer, THE, said, “The world’s elite universities have enjoyed a long period of dominance at the top of the table with help from historic reputation, global status, and reliable income. But our data shows us that there are clear shifts happening across higher education around the world. We are already seeing clear disruption to the established norms from mainland China, and record highs for Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and Hong Kong show that Asia is continuing to benefit from the focus and investment in higher education across the continent.”
