QS Ranking method
The QS World University Rankings (QS) evaluate universities according to the following 6 metrics:
- Academic Reputation (weighing 40%)
- Employer Reputation (weighing 10%)
- Faculty/Student Ratio (weighing 20%)
- Citations per faculty (weighing 20%)
- International Faculty Ratio (weighing 5%)
- International Student Ratio (weighing 5%)
The academic reputation weighs the most – with 40%. The reputation survey is based on expert opinions of 130.000 individuals.
Citations are measured
Research and output from each university in the survey is found in the Citations per Faculty metric. QS calculates the metric by taking the total number of citations received by all papers produced by an institution across a 5-year period by the number of faculty members.
Since different fields of subjects have different publishing cultures, citations are normalized. This means that different areas of research are measured differently.
All citations data are sourced using Elsevier’s Scopus database, the worlds largest respository of academic journal data. For the 2022 ranking, QS assessed 96 million citations from 14.7 million papers once self-citations were excluded.
