World University rankings
QS consider citations per faculty and allocate a 20% weighting to this. Their final score is based on research performance factored against the size of the research body (Source: Scopus)
It is worth noting that data from Thomson Reuter’s Web of Science is used by THE and Shanghai with QS using citation data from Elsevier’s Scopus database.
There are many critics of university ranking systems, their use and methodologies. However, despite this, they are noted and often referred to by governments, industry and media.
