The National Taiwan University Ranking (NTU) was first published in 2007 by the Taiwan Higher Education Assessment and Accreditation Council. Currently, it ranks 800 universities.
The indicators used to assess the impact of the research are the number of citations in the last 2 years, the average number of citations in the 11 years prior to publication, as well as the number of citations in this second period. Excellence research is achieved by averaging the H index over the last two years, the number of articles in high-impact journals and the number of most cited articles. Finally, research productivity is calculated on the average of the articles published in the last 11 years and those of the current year.
This ranking is led by the universities of Harvard, Stanford and Toronto; on a European scale by those of London, Oxford and Cambridge; and in Spain by the Universityof Barcelona, the Autonomous University of Barcelona and the University of Valencia.
