The THE World University Rankings were first published in 2004. This year鈥檚 rankings list 1,000 universities around the world.
Five categories contribute to a university鈥檚 ranking score. Of these, teaching (measured by reputation survey, student-faculty ratio, and number of doctoral degrees), research (measured by reputation survey, research income, and publication count), and citations combine to account for 90 percent of the score. The 91探花scores particularly highly in the citation category, measured as the number of times a university鈥檚 researchers are cited by other scholars. The UW鈥檚 #17 ranking in citations, with a score of 99.0 out of 100, contributes to its high overall score. In contrast, the UW鈥檚 scores in international outlook and industry income鈥攚hich together account for 10 percent of the overall ranking鈥攁re lower in comparison with other top universities.
