What are the major changes in our ranking of 2004?
After analyzing the numerous comments and suggestions from all over the world, we make three major modifications. First of all, a new criterion is introduced for the quality of education. For the time being, it’s measured by the number of the alumni of an institution winning Nobel prizes and Fields Medals. Please note that alumni are defined as those who obtain bachelor, Master’s or doctoral degrees. Secondly, in addition to Nobel laureates, Fields Medal winners are also considered. The number of the staff of an institution winning Fields Medals in Mathematics is counted. Staff is defined as those who work at an institution at the time of winning the medal. Thirdly, the weight of the size indicator is reduced by 10% due to limited information, while the weight of the new indicator Alumni, for quality of education, is set at 10%.
