Methodology

To be included in the ranking of subjects, universities must have a minimum number of research publications during the 2013-2017 period and bibliometric data are collected from Web of Science and InCites. The indicators used are the number of articles published in this period (PUB), the citations normalised by category (CNCI). Also the international collaboration (IC) or number of publications with at least two different countries in the signatures of the authors, divided by the total number of publications in a subject. They are also indicators TOP, number of articles published in the main journals on an academic subject, and AWARD, number of people from the institution that have won a significant award in an academic subject since 1981.
