Science Market Update

The new Leiden Ranking 2011/2012 measures the scientific impact and collaboration of 500 major universities worldwide. The new university scientific ranking system is based on 25 years of bibliometric work done at the Center for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS) of Leiden University. The system aims to provide measurements that are less subjective than those of other methods. For example, the Leiden Ranking does not use surveys and data provided by the universities themselves to determine a school’s scientific rank.
