A shared basis for assessment

Within a given ranking system and edition, all participating universities are assessed using the same methodology, criteria, weights and scoring rules. Differences in results reflect the evidence and scores achieved, not different rules for individual universities.

The articles provide educational guidance. Their publication does not announce ranking results, confer accreditation or approve an operational ranking methodology.
