Criteria

There are two criteria to be included in the subject rankings: a publication threshold by discipline and an academic staff* threshold by discipline.

No institution can be included in the overall World University Rankings unless it has published at least 1,000 relevant publications over the five years that we examine.

For the 11 subject tables, the publication thresholds are set differently. For clinical, pre-clinical and health, the threshold drops to 500 papers published in this discipline over the past five years.

There is also an academic staff eligibility criterion. Prior to the 2019 subject rankings, an institution had to have at least 5聽per cent of its academic staff working in the clinical, pre-clinical and health discipline聽to be included in the subject table.

Since the 2019 subject rankings, we have made a small adjustment in the staff eligibility criterion. An institution needs to have either a minimum proportion of its staff or a minimum number of staff in this discipline to be included in the subject ranking.

For clinical, pre-clinical and health, an institution聽must have at least 5聽per cent of its academic staff聽or聽at least 50 academic staff members in the discipline.

*Academic staff is defined as the full-time equivalent number of staff employed in an academic post, eg, lecturer, reader, professor.
