This year, besides the overall ranking that lists the top 500 universities, the National Taiwan University also included field-based and subject-based rankings.
Unlike the Times Higher Education and the QS World University rankings, which focus on overall university rankings, the Taiwan Ranking system emphasizes on scientific paper performance ranking. To evaluate scientific paper performance, it uses data from the Science Citation Index (CSI) and Social Sciences Citation Index (SCCI). The ranking system has three criteria to assess a university’s overall scientific paper performance: research productivity (weighting of 20%), research impact (30%), and research excellence (50%).
