THE World University Rankings is a global ranking of universities that has been published since 2004.
The data of each university is analyzed in five areas, namely teaching, research, citations, international outlook, and industry income, and 13 indicators are used to calculate and rank the scores for each.
More than 60% of the indicators are characterized by research-related items.
The University of Aizu is particularly highly regarded for its internationality and ranks higher than the median in the number of citations of its papers.
