Times Higher World University Ranking
The Times Higher Education ranking measures research, teaching and knowledge transfer. THE has developed a new method for the 2010 edition of the university ranking based on thirteen indicators divided into five categories:
- Teaching: five indicators, including a researcher survey (30%)
- Citations: average number of citations per article (32.5%)
- Research: five indicators, including a researcher survey (30%)
- Internationalisation: proportion of international students and researchers; (5%)
- External research funding per researcher (2.5%)
Until 2009, Times Higher Education co-published the THE-QS university ranking with Quacquarelli Symonds, a company specialising in education and study abroad.
