The Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU), produced by the Shanghai Ranking Consultancy (SRC), has long been known for its consistent and stable methodology. As a result, movement from year to year has usually been limited. This year, however, is something of an exception.The Shanghai rankings assign a weighting of 20% to the highly cited researcher indicator which is based on lists prepared by Thomson Reuters (TR) who have stopped adding to the old list and have issued a new one. For two years SRC combined the old and new lists but this year they decided to use only the new one to construct the indicator, counting only primary affiliations. The result of this, combined with fluctuations in the other indicator scores, is an unusual degree of volatility.
Some American institutions such as Rutgers, Virginia Polytechnic institute, Dartmouth College and Texas A and M University have fallen by dozens of places while some universities in China and Singapore have done extremely well. Peking University, Tsinghua University and the National University of Singapore have now entered the top 100.
Other universities that have dramatically improved their position include King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Toulouse School of Economics, Aalborg University and Nanyang Technological University.
At the very top Massachusetts institute of Technology (MIT) has fallen from third to fifth place and has been overtaken by University of California Berkeley and Cambridge. Oxford has moved up from tenth to seventh place.
