In the URAP Laboratory, six academic productivity indicators were used to rank the world's top 3,000 universities: "article," "citation," "total scientific documents," "international collaboration," "total citation impact," and "total publication impact." Articles from journals that fall into the lowest 25% of impact value and those with an impact value of zero or yet to be determined were excluded from the evaluation. Articles with 1,000 or more authors were not considered in the ranking.
