The Academic Ranking of World Universities was first published in 2003 by Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Since 2009, ARWU has been prepared and published by an independent organisation, ShanghaiRanking Consultancy. The exact place in the ranking is known only for the 100 best universities in the world. The remaining universities are classified in ranks comprising 50 or 100 institutions. The list is created based on a few factors:

• the number of alumni and staff winning Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals,
• the number of articles published in journals of Nature and Science,
• the number of articles indexed in Science Citation Index Expanded™ and Social Sciences Citation Index™ in the Web of Science™,
• and per capita performance of a university.
