The ARWU ranking takes into consideration the following criteria: the number of graduates (and separately the number of employees) who received the Nobel Prize or the Fields Medal, the number of publications in Nature and Science, the number of highly cited researchers, and the number of publications from selected citation indexes (Science Citation Index – Expanded and Social Sciences Citation Index). The classification measures the size of academic achievement compared to the size of the university.
