The Shanghai ranking evaluates institutions based on five primary indicators: research published in Q1 journals, field-normalized citation impact, proportion of publications with international co-authorship in various areas of the ranking, number of publications in top international journals and conferences, and the number of faculty members who have received international awards in their fields.
