The IUNE Observatory uses indicators on teaching staff, recognition, scientific activity, innovation, competitiveness, funding and training capacity. The data included in each update is extracted from the Web of Science platform, and refers to a decade, so that in the 2020 update the data correspond to the period 2009-2018, and those of 2019, to the interval 2008-2017. In the two updates, 83 higher education institutions in Spain have been included.

In absolute terms, among the publications made by the UV, 16,095 are included in the first quartile, by 15,143 in the data collected in 2019. Publications in international collaboration have also increased, going from 13,435 to 14,710 and increasing prominently the number of citations per teacher, which has reached 27.61, while it was 22.86 with data from last year.

This observatory also offers results by subject, both by number of publications and by number of citations. Thus, by number of publications the UV remains as the first higher Valencian teaching centre in 5 of the 6 areas analysed: Medicine and Pharmacology (where it is fourth in Spain), Social Sciences (also fourth), Life Sciences (fifth), Experimental (fifth) and Arts and Humanities (sixth). By number of citations, the UV is also first in the areas mentioned as the first Valencian one, and on a Spanish scale it is third in Medicine and Pharmacology, and fourth in Experimental and Social Sciences.

The IUNE Observatory is the result of the work carried out by a group of researchers belonging to the universities that form the “4U Alliance”: the Carlos III University of Madrid, the Autonomous University of Madrid, the Autonomous University of Barcelona and the Pompeu Fabra University.
