■THE World University Rankings

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.

■THE World University Rankings by Subject: Computer Science
As with THE World University Rankings, THE World University Rankings by Subject is based on 13 indicators in five fields: Teaching, research, citations, international outlook and industry income. The ranking is divided into 11 fields, including arts and humanities and life sciences, and our university is ranked in the field of computer science. The weighting of the scores is changed for each field, so the weighting of the number of citations of papers is lower, and the weighting of reputation research in education and research is higher in the field of computer science.
