With Leiden Ranking you create your own rankings

Are the technical sciences indeed completely dominated by China? Those who do not trust the new Leiden Ranking can now check it themselves.

For 15 years, research centre CWTS has been making its own world ranking of universities: the Leiden Ranking. In it, you can choose certain criteria yourself and thus create your own variants.

Now the makers are going one step further. They are launching an ‘open edition’. Not only can you now choose your own criteria, you can also check the underlying data.

CWTS director Ludo Waltman says about this in an explanation: ‘We don’t lump all the figures together to say what the best university in the world is. We show figures side by side, so we actually make multiple rankings.’

In the Leiden Ranking, for instance, you can look up how often articles from a university are cited, to what extent articles are available open access and to what extent there is international cooperation.
