In addition, the Valencian institution has also improved in the score of 4 of the 6 proposed quality indicators, such as citations, international collaboration, total impact of citations and total documentation. The main objective of this tool is to develop a classification system for universities worldwide based on academic results determined by the quality and quantity of academic publications.

 At international level, the ranking is led by the University of Harvard, the University of Toronto, and the University College of London. In Europe, the University College, Paris, and Oxford are in the lead, while in Spain (as in the three previous editions), the University of Valencia is only surpassed by the Universities of Barcelona and the Autonomous University of Barcelona.

The University Ranking by Academic Performance (URAP) is a non-profit organisation that was established in the Informatics Institute of the Technical University of the Middle East (Turkey) in 2009. The provider of bibliometric data for this ranking is Web of Science-Clarivate Analytics.
